Senior Internship Program at Huntington High School

The senior internship program at Huntington High School stands as a cornerstone of student development, providing high school seniors with a transformative bridge between classroom learning and future professional achievement.

Guided by program advisors Camille Tedeschi and Eileen Gonzalez, the program empowers students to cultivate versatile real-world competencies, explore career pathways, and step confidently into higher education and the modern workforce.

At its core, the student internship program strives to cultivate confident, articulate, and compassionate leaders. Through immersive, hands-on partnerships with dedicated teacher mentors, participating seniors transition from passive learners into active contributors within educational and professional environments.

To cater to diverse student aspirations, the program offers two distinct structural tracks: In-school internships and out-of-school internships. Both options provide rigorous, structured mentorship designed to foster accountability, self-efficacy, and career readiness. Beyond specialized career exploration, the program emphasizes adaptable skill-building. Regardless of their specific field of interest, every intern works toward mastering essential workplace competencies. The program combines daily hands-on responsibilities with structured advisor support throughout the academic year.

The success of the senior internship program reflects Huntington High School’s commitment to fostering a supportive educational community. By celebrating growth at student meetings and gathering mentor feedback through professional development sessions, advisors Ms. Tedeschi and Ms. Gonzalez ensure the program continually evolves to meet the needs of every cohort.

Through structured mentorship, authentic responsibility, and reflective practice, the Huntington High School senior internship program continues to inspire lifelong learning, personal integrity, and professional excellence in every participant.

The application process for the 2027-2028 school year will begin in December 2026. Interested students will complete an application and submit it on time in January to be entered into a lottery for selection to the program.
