Extended Learning Opportunity Program
The Extended Learning Opportunities program (ELO) offers students hands-on, credit-bearing educational experiences outside of the traditional classroom setting with an emphasis on community-based career exploration.
ELO plans are tailored to the student’s interests and goals and offer engaging learning experiences that allow them to develop skills important to their future success in the workplace, college, and beyond.

What Students Can Expect:
- Explore Career Paths: Gain firsthand knowledge about different careers through job shadowing, internships, and industry visits.
- Develop Essential Skills: Hone your communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills through hands-on learning.
- Connect with the Community: Give back and make a difference while gaining valuable experience through volunteer opportunities.
