For decades, Sturgis High School seniors have presented a portfolio of their high school work to a panel of community and school leaders.
Students are coached on how to present themselves professionally for an interview, including making introductions and eye contact and greeting with a firm handshake.
For now, the handshake is gone, as are the in-preson interviews, due to pandemic restrictions. These changes have launched the SHS senior portfolio project and presentation into the digital era. For many, that’s a good step.
Brooke Moses is the career preparation coordinator at the high school, hired to the position when Claudia Pahls retired.
