To kick-off the 2017-2018 Program year, students from Altoona Area High School
were recently introduced to The Challenge Program, Inc. during an orientation assembly.
The assembly theme was Classroom Feud: Workplace Edition. This fun game show spin-off reveals to students the right answers to the important questions for career-readiness and success both in and beyond the classroom and how to earn cash incentives.
During the assembly, students in the sophomore, junior, and senior classes were introduced to local career opportunities.
Throughout the year, students will be eligible to compete for financial awards in five areas linked with academic and workplace success: Attendance, Academic Improvement, Academic Excellence, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and Community Service.
The business partners for Altoona Area High School
during the 2017-2018 school year are
Altoona Area School District Foundation
and
Reliance Bank.
At the end of the assembly, five juniors and five seniors received cash awards for the work they accomplished last year during the 2016-2017 school year in the five above-mentioned categories.
