What is COE?

 

COE is a class/club at Washington High School designed to prepare senior students for entry-level office employment by developing attitudes, abilities and skills needed in office occupations. Students participating in the COE program receive school credit for released time; they work an average of 10 hours per week minimum; and they are paid by their employer at the usual rate of pay for the job performed.
