Students will not be permitted to take and internship and an independent study during the same semester. Internships require a documented log of 90 hours per semester credit. A student wishing to consider an internship should discuss the appropriateness of this option with parents, the guidance counselor, and the principal. A proposal for an internship must be completed, turned in by the established deadline, and signed by the student, parent, and supervisor of the internship. The principal's approval is required for each internship.
Internships are part of a student's regular schedule and appear on the official transcript.
Failure to complete the proposal by the established deadline will result in the denial of the proposal and the placement of the student in a course from the Burris schedule. Credit Below Grade 9 Students wishing to earn high school credit before entering the ninth grade must seek approval from the Principal. Approval must be sought before the course is taken. Each request will be considered on an individual basis. High school credit will be given for algebra or geometry taken during middle school at Burris.
