Mock it till you Rock it!!!
The Class of 2026 participated in Mock Interviews this week. These interviews are embedded into the 11th grade English curriculum and help our students build confidence by practicing speaking about themselves and their accomplishments in a structured environment. They receive feedback on their performance, identifying both strengths and weaknesses and they experience professional etiquette.
This opportunity would not happen without the support of our amazing English teachers, Signature Program and community and business partners that volunteered their time. Throughout the week, 89 business and community members volunteered 328 hours to interview 469 Juniors.
Overall, mock interviews provide Severna Park High School students with a safe space to practice, learn, and grow, ensuring they are well-prepared for the opportunities ahead.
