Each year, the SPHS Business Advisory Board co-sponsors Mock Interviews and career conversations with English 11 teachers and the PTSO. A group of BAB members visit the juniors in advance to give them tips on resume writing and interview skills. The English 11 teachers follow up with classroom instruction and a graded assignment to create a resume.
Then, over a five-day period in December, about 100 community volunteers come to the school to conduct 10-minute mock interviews and talk about careers to over 500 high school juniors who are dressed for success. The opportunity to practice interview skills and discuss their career and educational goals with a member of the community is invaluable.
