Sen. Brian Schatz has announced the selection of 15 outstanding Hawaii high school students to participate in this year’s Schatz Seniors High School Internship program.
One of the students is Brianne Schlegelmilch, who attends St. Joseph School in Hilo.
“Every one of our Schatz Seniors is a stand-out,” said Schatz. “They all share an interest in civic leadership and are highly engaged in their schools and communities. My staff and I look forward to working with them.”
Now in its third year, the program provides a hands-on learning opportunity about the U.S. Senate, creates a forum for students to share issues and information with the Senator and his staff, and encourages students to be leaders and advocates in their schools and communities. As part of the program, all students must maintain a 2.5 GPA. Interns were selected based on their community involvement, diversity of interests, and demonstrated leadership qualities.
Applications for next year’s Schatz Seniors High School Internship program will be available in the fall at schatz.senate.gov. For more information, contact Schatz’s +office at 523-2061.
