Launch 2026 is a unique summer internship program for upcoming Seniors (class of 2027) made possible with the generous support of Mr. Derica Rice. Throughout this paid internship, students are exposed to future business opportunities, build relationships with community leaders, and gain clarity on what they would like to do post-graduation. This college and career readiness program allows students to experience career paths and what it looks like to be a part of the workforce.  

Students enrolled in Decatur City Schools (Austin High School, Decatur High School, or Career Academies of Decatur) as full-time students in their junior year of application and who will be enrolled at Decatur City Schools for their senior year are eligible to apply.
