Staff will continue to monitor positivity rates for Covid-19 and make appropriate adjustments in the spirit of safety to ensure our schools remain open and operational. The District will respond to positive COVID cases and may implement quarantine protocols when necessary.

Gulfstream Internship - Apply Now
The Gulfstream Internship program is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn and use skills that build on their interest in their desired career field. Internship areas include engineering, business, marketing, accounting, human resources, logistics, warehousing, and more. This internship is very competitive – with students competing with other students from across the region. Students applying for the Gulfstream Internship should be mindful of the following:
- · Islands High School junior or senior during the 2022/2023 school year
- · Student must have reliable transportation to and from work at Gulfstream is required
- - With the student driving each day
- · Must be able to have Work-Based Learning each day for both 3rd and 4th blocks
- · Students are expected to work 20 hours per week.
Please be advised that Work-Based Learning does not work for everyone’s schedules. Since this is an internship (with students being required to be at work each day during their work schedules), this does not always work with student extracurricular schedules. Practice and performance for school sports teams, choir, band, drama, clubs, etc. are problematic due to traveling to or having events during your internship hours. If you participate in any these activities, consider applying for Work-Based Learning instead.
Interested students should see Ms. Adkins in room 314 for an information packet.
