Upper School
Capstone Showcase
Fall 2022
Welcome to the Fall 2022 Capstone Showcase! Our Capstone students have devoted an entire semester to independently researching topics they are passionate about.
Capstone projects take on many formats, including an EP, online/virtual exhibits, presentations, and displays. Below you will find a link to each student's presentation along with a brief video introduction to their projects.
I am so very proud of these students. Enjoy the presentations.
