A Capstone is a culminating project, presentation, or performance that allows students the opportunity to demonstrate their learning and passion, while connecting it to their life plans outside high school. Students will use their school and life experiences to showcase their learning and growth, while developing a meaningful and relevant product to represent that. Innovation, areas of interest, inquiry, cross curricular knowledge, and core competencies are the basis for the project, while connecting it to a real world concept/passion.
The Capstone project is a celebration of learning, experience, and growth about YOU!!
To use the core competencies to explore and develop a project you are interested in.
To demonstrate the skills you possess to be successful in your education, the workforce, and life!
To build relationships and network in an area of interest or passion.
To make connections between your project and passion/future.
To support you with post secondary entrance requirements.
To support you with post secondary or district scholarships.
To support your future career employment or a culminating demonstration of your personal growth, development and achievement.
