Seton Catholic’s New Schedule Opens Doors to Career Opportunities

By Isabella Markward, Chamber Business & Community Engagement Intern

Starting in the 2027-2028 school year, Seton Catholic High School will be introducing a new schedule that gives their students more opportunities to grow both inside and outside the classroom. The new schedule, called Maximum FACE time, stands for Faith, Academics, Charity and Excellence. Mondays will be set aside for activities focused on these four areas, while students will attend their regular academic classes Tuesday through Friday.

​

One of the major changes is the additional time that students will have available for work-based learning and internships. This will give them the opportunity to explore careers that they may be interested in, meet some of the local professionals and gain some experience in a workplace prior to graduating.
