You may have to travel to three different locations to find this busy intern. This week’s Howe Intern of the week is Timothy Wallis. He is a junior at Howe High School and works as an intern for Long Lake Resort in Poteau, the Heavener Runestone Park in Heavener, and the Janet Huckabee Nature Center in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Timothy loves being outdoors and has been enjoying his three internship assignments. Each internship opportunity is preparing Timothy for his future goal of becoming a Forest Ranger after high school graduation. #HPSLions
