Hortonville High School offers several outstanding Career Education classes and pathways to help students interested in finding their career pathway and determining what's next after high school. Our classes provide students the opportunity to connect with other students interested in similar pathways, as well as opportunities to connect with staff and the community to decide which path is right for them.
Work-Based Learning Opportunities
Students who participate in school-supervised work-based learning have additional opportunities to gain employability skills, and with many programs, occupational skills related to their high school courses. School-supervised work-based learning reinforces the connection between work and school, provides an opportunity for meaningful contact with adults/mentors, improves their chances for successful employment as young adults, and helps solidify career interests.
In addition, HHS, in collaboration with CESA 6, offers an array of Youth Apprenticeship opportunities that allow students to continue taking classes at high school while working as an apprentice at a local participating business.
Xello
HHS offers this engaging software program to all students to help them build skills and knowledge and to plan for success after high school, in whatever path they choose. Students have the opportunity to build self-awareness, explore potential career choices and create a personalized, attainable post-secondary plan. To access, please use the Xello Student Link.
