    An opportunity for Suffolk Public Schools Juniors and Seniors, with approved work hour in their second semester schedules, to participate in a paid, high-quality work-based learning experience working within several of our school division's departments. 

    Applications for our Suffolk Public Schools S.T.A.R. (Start Today and Rise) student internship program are now available exclusively for 2023-2024 Juniors and Seniors. Working within several of our school division’s departments gives students a high-quality work-based learning experience during the school year.

    Applications are available starting Friday, November 17th through Tuesday, December 5th. Internship start dates will vary but are anticipated to begin in mid-January 2024 upon our return for the new year.
