Amy Lowe, who teaches the new Practicum in Business Management at Lake Highlands High School, says the hands-on course is making a big impact on the students participating in the work-study program.

“The students are enjoying their jobs and I am enjoying working with these companies and my students as well,” she told me. Amy expressed her gratitude to the businesses making an investment in LH students (a list appears below). “I am so thankful to these companies for giving our LH students a chance.”
