STUDENT EXTERNAL OPPORTUNITIES (SEOS) Sugar Creek Charter School believes that classroom discussions and planning are not enough to prepare students for college and life. Students need to be exposed to enriching opportunities outside of the classroom to aid in the development of a well thought out life plan. Th ere is no better way to know if something is for you than to experience it fi rst-hand. Over the course of their high school careers, students will participate in various opportunities for community service and outreach projects, job shadowing, and pre-college leadership programs. 270 completed hours are required for SCCS graduation.
SEOs include but are not limited to: ▶ Pre-College Programs ▶ Student Employment ▶ Internships/Work Shadowing ▶ Leadership Programs ▶ Peer Tutoring ▶ Dual Enrollment Class of 2018, 2019 & 2020 College Acceptance List
