• What is a work permit and where can I get one?

    A work permit is a legal document required by the state of California that allows a person under 18 years of age to hold a job. You may get a work permit from Covina High School. There are four steps in obtaining a work permit:

    1. Obtain a work permit application in the Career Center from Mrs. Elizabeth Romeo or by clicking on the Work Permit Application
    2. Fill out the personal information at the top of the application, get your prospective employer to fill out the information required in the middle portion, and have a parent or guardian sign the bottom portion of the application.
    3. Return the completed work permit application to Mrs. Elizabeth Romeo where the work permit will be processed.
    4. Bring the completed work permit back to the prospective employer.

    Students under the age of eighteen (18) must have a work permit on file with the school and their employer.
