Fort Thomas council hears Highlands High student intern recap
Summary
The council heard a presentation introducing Parker Moses, a Highlands High School intern who compiled a city property database and completed a street/sidewalk inventory; the teacher urged businesses to host student interns as part of a dual-credit program.
Elise Carter, a business and organizational leadership teacher at Highlands High School, described a dual-credit internship program in which students earn both high school and college credit and work at local organizations as part of course requirements.
"They have to intern at least three days a week," Carter said, explaining students complete textbook work, reflective assignments and a 10–15 minute presentation on how classroom concepts matched their real‑world work. Carter said students presented April 28 in the city building.
Parker Moses, an intern for the City of Fort Thomas, told the council she appreciated the experience and thanked staff for the opportunity. City staff described Moses’s work compiling a spreadsheet of city-owned properties and conducting a street inventory to record sidewalk locations and help prioritize projects.
Mayor Andy Ellison proclaimed the week of May 2026 as National Public Works Week and declared May 2026 Building Safety Month, remarks that followed the internship presentation.
The council did not take formal action on the internship program; staff encouraged local businesses interested in hosting interns to contact Highlands High School.
