Junior+Information

Hi! I'm Mrs. Wilcox, and I am the junior counselor for the 2016-2017 school year. I have met with all of the students individually and plan do so again during scheduling. I am currently in the process of taking them all on Career Cruising, which is a online program addressing career and college choices.

I have scheduled the annual "Junior Information Night" for Wednesday February 22, 2017 beginning at 6pm in the high school cafeteria. Important information will be shared regarding your child's remaining time in high school. If you are unable to attend, please contact me directly so that I can get you all the information that was shared.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at wwilcox@ccps.org or (410) 885-2077 if you should have any questions.

=**4.** **The High School Research Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) is a summer STEM program open to high school students (Grades 11 – 12) who demonstrate an interest in STEM to work as an apprentice in an Army-funded university research laboratory. HSAP is designed so that students can apprentice in fields of their choice with experienced scientists and engineers full-time during the summer or part-time during the school year. Students receive an educational stipend equivalent to $10 per hour. **= = = **Students should visit the Army Educational Outreach Program site (AEOP) to find out more about HSAP, to locate a university and to apply: ** = = =**HSAP: @http://www.usaeop.com/programs/apprenticeships/hsap/ **= = = **Student application/registration will close on February 28, 2017 . ** = = =**To assist in informing as many teachers and students as possible, I ask that you forward this email to your district high schools so they are aware of these opportunities. **= = = =**Thank you! **= = = =**Pamela Hampton **= =**Army Educational Outreach Program **= =**Apprenticeship Lead Manager **= =**www.usaeop.com **= =**phampton@aas-world.org **= =**603 228 4530 **=

**5. An actuary is a business professional who uses mathematical and financial tools to help identify and manage risk, so it's a great career for students who are strong mathematically but who are not necessarily interested in teaching. It's also great for students who like business and have good math aptitude.**


 * I run a one-week summer program for rising high school seniors who want to learn more about the profession. Here's a link to the program web site: **
