Description
As a graduation requirement, all seniors must plan and conduct a senior project that culminates in a Senior Exhibition, a public presentation that is assessed by a panel of teachers, students, and community members.
Most seniors enroll in a 9 or 18-week Senior Exhibition Seminar. A small number arrange with a teacher to enroll in a course or independent study designated as support for their Senior Exhibition.
Why Senior Exhibition?
Senior Exhibitions
