Junior Professional Shadowing Provides Insights for Career Opportunities
Each spring, the Junior class experiences the real world of prospective careers, thanks to our Junior Professional Shadowing Program.
During their three-day experience, coordinated by College Counselors Ms. Susan Emmerich and Ms. Maria Mueller, Juniors spend time with a sponsor in a potential career of their choice. This year, more than 166 Juniors were paired with a variety of professionals, including engineers, journalists, lawyers, teachers, surgeons and members of the United States House of Representatives.

Students keep journals detailing their experiences and thoughts on the professionals they observed, including Juniors Frances Marshall and Julie Stroemple, who shadowed Bride Sweeney '10 and met Governor Mike DeWine. This career exploration helps students decide vocations of interest or discover their post-secondary education selections as they narrow their college search process.
