What It Is:

The Community Board is a platform that connects local businesses or organizations with the students at Barrington High School in a mutually beneficial relationship. A business or organization that has a need may submit a request using the Community Request tab. The Internship Coordinator will review the request and determine the most effective means for addressing the need. These means may include matching the request with a class which will solve the problem through a class project, an individual who can work in the iCreate Lab addressing the need, or by creating an internship opportunity for a student or group of students. This provides students with the invaluable opportunity to apply the skills they are learning in the classroom to real world situations and provides businesses and organizations with the skills and resources they require to fulfill a need. The result is a productive partnership that brings together the school and the community!
