Amherst High School Business Teacher Looking For Alumni Help

Message from High School Business Teacher Christina Evans:

I think it would be great if I had a “go-to list” of alumni who would be willing to hold an informational interview with a student when a student is interested in their particular field of work. For example, I have a student who is interested in pursuing a career as a Counselor/Therapist. She would like to meet with one so she can ask them questions about their career pathway and training required to be a Therapist and other burning questions she might have about this career.

I think it would be cool to have one of our awesome Amherst Alum who might be able to schedule a time when the student can come meet them for an informational interview.

If you think you would like to help out and be on a list of potential people to contact when a student is interested in such an experience, please would you complete the form (link below) or email Christina Evans at cevans@amherstschools.org.
