This fall at North Babylon High School, students are registered for the Work Cooperative Education Program, which connects academic theory with paid work experience.  Students not only earn while they learn, they often gain a foothold in a position related to their field of study.  There has been an increase in enrollment and this is partly due to our new Co-Op Coordinator, Ms. Michele McDonald who has taken on this position.  She has been eagerly recruiting students and soliciting local businesses.
