High Tech High Mesa Externship
What is Externship?
Crucial next step for 12th graders who have completed the High Tech High Mesa Internship program as 11th graders
Culminating PBL experience at HTHM
Month-long experience broken into week-long chunks focused on transitioning from the school environment to the real world
Unique opportunity to identify what’s important to you then create and share an action plan
Why Externship?
Mission: All HTHM graduates have a clear vision for what independent, purposeful, healthy living that feeds mind, body, and soul might be like for them after high school.
Transitioning from school to life beyond (college or career) can be jarring
Exposure to different aspects of independent life that you might not feel prepared for or even know about
If you haven’t thought about the future, it can pass you by when it arrives
