Work Program Inspectors
Faculty advisor: Mr. Cleary
The work program at Suffield Academy teaches Suffield students to give back to the community in which they live. Work program jobs are numerous and varied—they range from jobs in the Admissions and Development offices to kitchen help assignments. The students are supervised in their work program assignments by student leaders, faculty and/or staff. The student leaders have the title of inspector and are selected for this role based on their previous performance in work program assignments. Most inspectors are seniors but occasionally an exceptional underclassman is awarded this role. Work program inspectors use a variety of leadership skills including the ability to manage and confront peers and effectively organize time. Students also learn the importance of leading by example and communicating effectively.
