Core Communication Skills satisfies the graduation requirement of completing a 10th grade communications course. We work on communicating professionally and maturely through job seeking skills, career researching, and fine-tuning self expression via new media technology. Students also hone their reading strategies in anticipation of PSSAs and SATs next year.

Core Comm. also helps students satisfy a majority of their EASD- and Pennsylvania Department of Education-required graduation project. It includes the following major projects/activities.

• Mock interview portfolio: resume, cover letter, references, job application
• Mock interview
• Career shadow
