Godley High School student Tesslyn Scoggins is learning real-world work experience through a career preparation internship with Godley-based DoubleRock Homes.

“I love working in the Godley community with DoubleRock Homes, which is a family-owned business,” commented Scoggins. “I design interior houses like paint colors, cabinet design and color, tile and floor selections. DoubleRock also does custom homes around the area so it is very fun to work with customers and see their insight of how they want to design their own house and getting to help make their dreams come true.”

An Anchor sponsor for the school district, DoubleRock Homes is building in approximately 10 subdivisions in areas such as Godley, Grandview and Weatherford.

Business internships are available through the GHS career preparation program, which provides opportunities for students to participate in a learning experience that combines classroom instruction with paid business and industry employment experiences and supports strong partnerships among school, business and community stakeholders.  The practicum is designed to give students supervised practical application of previously studied knowledge and skills. Practicum experiences occur in a paid or unpaid arrangement and in a variety of instructional settings.

GHS teacher Jane Cook oversees graphic design, commercial photography and career prep classes.
