    • Participating in a variety of in-person and virtual classroom activities and student projects

    • Finding, funding, or furnishing paid internship opportunities

    • Collaborating with academy leaders to enhance curriculum and professional development

    • Providing strategic leadership and soliciting financial support from the community to ensure academy sustainability 

    You can find more about our Academy at bit.ly/HRHS-AOFT.  Also, check out www.naf.org for more information about NAF, a national network of academies and advisory boards preparing students for college and career success.
