During the week of OGT testing, juniors and seniors were held responsible to make up that lost educational time during the hours of testing. Some juniors and seniors chose to watch movies in the auditorium from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., take an AP review, and the rest chose to career shadow.
Career shadowing is an opportunity for students to shadow parents and community members. Shadowing can help with figuring out a major for college, or a career for their future. Some careers Hayes students chose were; teachers, administrators, school faculty, hairdressers, police officers, photographers, and many other professions.
Breona Griffin, senior, chose to shadow a fifth grade English teacher at Willis Intermediate School. Griffin plans on majoring in education, and she thought it would be a good experience.
“I learned a lot about fifth graders, their attitudes, and what they are learning about in class. Mr. Swain is a great teacher and I am glad I had a chance to shadow him,” said Griffin.
Junior Sarah Cervenic works in the Athletic Office and shadowed secretary Connie Thomas on the job and outside of the office as well. Thomas attends college courses at The Ohio State University (OSU) in the evening.
“ If students are serious about career shadowing it can open doors for future employees to the amount of work that goes in to that position,” said Thomas.
Sarah was interested when Thomas told her she was taking Child Psychology courses at OSU, and Cervenic plans on going into the Psychology field in college.
“ I learned what it was like to be in a college course and whether or not I was going to enjoy majoring in psychology,” said Cervenic.
Many other students shadowed school employees as well. Senior Kyle Shrout shadowed Mrs. Todd in the Attendance Office. He learned a lot about the attendance policy, and how to write and check passes, along with helping out Mrs. Todd for a few hours.
Outside of the school district, junior Alex Blair shadowed his father on the job as a sheriff for Delaware County.
“I learned how to write citations, and got a chance to see if it was a career I would want to do,” said Blair.
Senior Ashlee Warbel shadowed her mother at Acloche, where her mother is the manager Staffing Coordinator. Acloche is an agency that helps people find jobs.
“I learned a lot about the screening process that happens before they place people in careers,” said Warbel. There is also a 30-page application and I learned how to enter the applications in the computer, which is called data entry. I learned a lot, and I had a good time.”
Many students had the chance to determine if they were interested in a certain career, and had some fun as well. With many activities taking place along with career shadowing, it seemed to be the most popular choice.
