Mock Interviews
Each year, the SPHS Business Advisory Board co-sponsors the Mock Interviews with English 11 teachers and the PTSO. A group of BAB members visit the juniors in advance to give them tips on resume writing and interview skills. The English 11 teachers follow up with classroom instruction and a graded assignment to create a resume.
Then, over a three-day period in December, about 70 community volunteers come to the school to conduct 15-minute mock interviews to over 500 high school juniors who are dressed for success. The opportunity to practice interview skills and discuss their career and educational goals with a member of the community is invaluable.
