Work Experience Credits
Work Experience Elective Credits for High School Diploma Students
A student may earn five elective credits for every six months of full-time work (average 30 hours/week) with the same employer. A student may earn a total of 40 credits from work experience (four years). More than one employer may be used as long as each one is for at least six months. This includes any work since leaving high school.
Students should turn in a letter from the employer on company letterhead, and if available, please attach a business card. Students may submit the letter to the Lancaster, Palmdale, or Rosamond campuses, or scan/take a picture of the letter and email it to the Lancaster/Rosamond counselor at kwalters@avhsd.org, or the Palmdale/Rosamond counselor at ekun@avhsd.org.
