APS Senior Project

The APS Senior Project is a culminating experience capturing the student's high school years. While this project will summarize the learning a student has experienced in high school, it will prepare students for life beyond high school as well. Students will demonstrate a variety skills, such as:

• Senior Inquiry: Students will use writing, research, publishing, technology, and speaking skills to assemble a four-part inquiry: (1) Proposal, (2) Product, (3) Portfolio, and (4) Presentation.
• Work or Service Learning: Students will document and reflect on 120 hours (or more) of work and/or volunteer experiences from their senior year.

Additionally, students enrolled in the APS Senior Project will be carefully mentored to monitor progress in the following areas:

• Senior Attendance (93% or better) Note: Senior Attendance is calculated to include both excused AND unexcused absences for this option.
• Senior Grade Point Average (2.5 or better)
• Other options as defined by student's high school building

By completing the Senior Project course, students will successfully meet additional options for graduation eligible only to the class of 2018 (see page 2, Option 1).

*These options do not apply to those students who are 5th year seniors or early graduates. Students must have entered 9th grade between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015 to be eligible.

Carefully read through all the materials on this site to successfully complete the Senior Project.

If you have additional questions or concerns, first reach out to the assigned student mentor, senior counselor, and/or the principal of the high school. For appeals or additional questions, please email TheSeniorProject@apslearns.org and a team will review.
