🌟 Real-World Learning for SHS students🌟
SHS students had an amazing experience participating in the Junior Achievement Job Shadow program at the Marriott Hotel in Albany last week.
They explored a wide range of careers in the hospitality industry from Marriott team members. Students discovered how teamwork, communication, and customer service keep a hotel running successfully. This impactful experience also helped students connect what they’re learning in Introduction to Business and Entrepreneurship to real-world career pathways.

Teaching children to immerse themselves in a good book is one of the most valuable things you can do as a parent. A childhood love of reading sets the stage for success as an adult. A child who loves reading will have an inquiring mind, a vivid imagination, and great problem-solving skills. Set some time aside to do some reading with your kids this week and inspire a lifelong love of the written word.

Season’s greetings!
On behalf of Schenectady High Schools Parent Empowerment Center, I am excited to invite you to join us in supporting our 3rd Annual Village Holiday Dinner, a beloved community tradition that brings together families for an evening of fellowship, warmth, and giving.
