INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY WITH THE TOWN OF MARANA

MARANA 2.0 – THE NEXT GENERATION

Our vision for our academies at Marana High School is Discover Your Place and Decide

Your Plan. We have a unique opportunity to help students achieve this through an

internship program we are participating in with the Town of Marana.

Marana High School and the Town of Marana are excited to announce a new

educational partnership – Marana 2.0: The Next Generation – an innovative program

that engages high school students in their local community.

Beginning in the spring 2015 semester, eligible 11th grade students will apply for local

government “jobs” and create projects with real-world magnitude while enrolled in the

MHS internship class. Working with Town staff student projects can include anything

from designing a candidate orientation packet for a Town Council election to creating

overlays and maps for future development within the Technology Services department.

Students will receive a complete list of available projects once accepted to the program.

Town Mentors will assign projects to students and will provide the necessary tools and

information to help students complete those projects. Student projects will progress

over several months and can accommodate flexible working locations including the

school, the town hall, or a students’ home. Town Staff will evaluate completed projects

focusing on written clarity, content relevance, applicability to the department or

position, and the students’ final oral presentation. The MHS internship instructor, Mr.

Alex Ruff, will award the final project grades. Your child will be enrolled in an

internship class and receive an elective credit and a grade for this internship.

The overall goal of this collaborative effort is actively involve young adults in the local

government process. This experience will help students acquire a better

understanding of how their community functions and how local government affects

them daily. It is our hope that this program will provide students exposure to various

career opportunities in both the public and private sector as they continue to explore

their interests.

If your child is interested please have them see Mr. Ruff in B-9 for information. If you

have any questions please contact Mr. Ruff at [email protected].



PIMA COLLEGE – EARLY REGISTRATION OPPORTUNITY

On Tuesday, April 28th, Pima College will be offering a special early registration or

orientation just for Marana High School seniors. We will be taking a bus that will leave

our campus at 8:15am and return around 1:00pm. This is a great opportunity to register

for classes, talk to advisors, and clear-up any questions you may have. You must sign-up

in the Counseling Office if you wish to attend.

Prices will increase April 20th. We WILL sell tickets at the door; however, keep in mind

that permissions slips for guests must be filled-out and approved ahead of time by

AFTER PROM EXPERIENCE – Parents, do you want your children to have a Safe &

Fun After-Prom Experience? If so, we have the event for you and your child! Our STAND

Club (Students Together Against Narcotics and Drinking) is sponsoring an After-Prom

party beginning at 11:30 PM and lasting until 5:00 AM at Bedroxx. Tickets will be on sale

MARANA ATHLETICS

Tiger Pride News

We are in the spring athletic season with baseball, softball, tennis, track and men’s

volleyball. All programs are entrenched in the 3C’s (Culture, Commitment, and

Competitiveness) at practice, on the field, court, and on campus.

We had some tough competition on the field and court this last week. Now it is time to

dig deep in our Culture, honor the Commitment and turn on the Competitiveness! When

there are bumps in the road it is time to come out and support our teams. Our Tigers

would really appreciate having positive energy and kind words at their games to give

them that boost of confidence to succeed. Positive energy is infectious and Marana is all

about positive at Tiger Pride Athletics!

Proud to be the AD and TIGER PRIDE!

Ms. Montiel Turner
