The LAUNCH program at Brookfield East High School is an innovative, profession-based learning initiative designed for high school juniors and seniors. It provides students with opportunities to engage in real-world projects and tasks related to their future career interests. Here are some key features of the program:
- Career-Based Learning: Students work on projects in collaboration with local businesses and professionals, gaining hands-on experience in various fields.
- Interdisciplinary Approach: The program integrates core academic subjects like math, science, and English with professional tasks, allowing students to earn credits while exploring their career interests.
- Community Engagement: LAUNCH students often showcase their projects to business professionals and community members, fostering a strong connection between the school and the local community.
