Architectural internships for high school students?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Do architectural firms ever offer job shadowing opportunities to high school students? I know that kids with parents who work in these firms may be able to land a position but I'm not exactly in that kind of situation. Most big name firms seem annoyed at high schoolers even asking since there are so many college interns anyways. </p>

<p>Btw I live near Dallas and ft. Worth if it helps any. </p>

<p>How can I land a job shadowing opportunity with virtually no connections?</p>

<p>(well my art 1 teacher from freshmen year used to be an architect and really likes me (even recommended me for AP art and this art program at a respectable museum). Would it be too much to ask if he could help me find an internship/job shadowing position?)</p>
