Summary

At its Dec. 15 meeting the Elkhorn Area School District highlighted students hired into part‑time positions through the Career and College Academy; seniors described duties as teacher’s aide and technical apprenticeships and noted they completed standard hiring steps.

The Elkhorn Area School District heard a student presentation Dec. 15 about the Career and College Academy (CCA), which places high‑school students in paid, part‑time roles inside district schools and local employers. Students described classroom support, tutoring, and career‑technical training as part of the program.

Olivia Grace Boyer, a senior, told the board, “I am a senior, and I am a teacher's aide at GEDS Elementary.” Max Marti, also a senior, said he works at Alcornwick Middle School while taking CNC classes; Josh Porter said he splits his day between Elkhartan High School and CNC coursework. Presenters said students complete the district’s usual hiring steps, including required forms and background checks.

District staff explained the program is designed to teach employability skills and to fill district needs with supervised student employees. Presenters emphasized students receive comparable school breaks and earn course credit while working part time during the school year. Board members asked about students’ post‑graduation plans; students said some intend to work a year before pursuing further study while others hope to be hired full time by the district.

Board members thanked the students and their teachers for the program. No formal board action was required; the board moved on after a brief question‑and‑answer period.
