Senior Project
Class of 2026: Interested in Senior Project?
Come to a kickoff meeting on Tuesday, December 2 during Adviser Period in the McGee Theatre to learn about this opportunity! Open to all seniors. Any and all seniors should attend to hear more about the program.
Description
- Senior Project is a 4-week experiential learning opportunity open to all seniors
-
Projects fall into 4 categories: career, service, creative arts, curricular
-
Requirements for eligibility:
Passing all current classes
90% attendance rate - Senior Project is an optional program that allows seniors to design and complete their own learning experience, similar to an internship. Senior Project is completed outside of school during the last five weeks of the school year and replaces most of a student’s traditional classroom work.
- Senior Project runs for four weeks from Monday, April 20 through Friday, May 15. The fifth week includes a final evaluation, the Senior Project Exhibition (May 21 - parents are welcome to attend - more info to follow)
- Students involved in Senior Project gain valuable experience in a career-oriented, creative, service or academic area.
- Community Sponsor – all students need a community sponsor to participate. If you do not have a sponsor in mind, the team can try and assist you with finding a sponsor in your area of interest.
- In most classes, student grades will be determined as of Friday, April 19 (the last school day before Senior Project starts)
- If you have any of the following classes, you must come to school each day during Project for these classes only, and your project will be abbreviated. You don't attend any of your other classes.
- All AP classes
- All PLTW classes
- Dance Lab I & II
- Certain Performing Arts classes (to be determined)
- You do not attend Advisery while on Senior Project, even if you are coming back for one of the classes above.
- You do not have to work the same hours as the school day. Some projects would require you to work afternoon, night, or weekend hours – that’s okay.
- You can create a Project with a partner, as long as there is a good reason that the Project would require two people.
- You can plan a Project out of town, but all travel and lodging arrangements must be made by you. You cannot do an out-of-town project if you have any classes in the four categories above.
