Thank you for considering Everett Public Schools for your student internship!

Our district has a centralized placement program that includes, student teachers, counselors, social workers, OT/PT’s, Psychologists, and speech/ language pathologists. Our placement guidelines include an approval process to ensure that interns are paired with mentors for the best internship experience possible.

Participating as a mentor in our district will give you the unique opportunity to make a difference in our students’ lives and our community.

We look forward to assisting you on your journey to becoming a certified educator or specialist in Washington State.

To help manage this process efficiently, students and university coordinators will work with Human Resources, and are asked not to contact the school and /or mentors directly.
