While many of their peers spent a carefree summer before the start of senior year, several Camas High School students were getting a taste of the “real world.”
The students, from the CHS math, science and technology magnet program, worked at internships ranging from studying on-site wind energy production, to unraveling the mysteries of Parkinson’s Disease to helping design a new Camas elementary school.
The internship program was coordinated by teacher Ron Wright.
He made contacts with several area businesses and helped students find the best fit.
The students took it from there, and worked with the individual businesses all summer.
