Looking Ahead to Future Occupations Two educational alternatives, Co-op and Area Vocational School, continued to be two of the most popular programs offered by HHS. Both offer the stu- dent who is looking ahead to employment after high school opportunities not available in the regular classroom. Students of AVHS must endure a daily bus ride to Collinsville for either one or two years, but once there they receive intensive training designed to give them a marketable skill after completing the program. Co-op students combine work with education. Their school day involves regular classes, a special class related to their job and time spent working.
