The Capstone project is the final, culminating experience of the LHSU program in which seniors demonstrate their experience in and knowledge of their chosen career. The key components of the Capstone project include a reflection on LHSU experiences, research about their career field, and a solution to a problem that they noticed in their Internships. The 9 seniors who graduated in May 2019 with LHSU honors were Sierra Wakkure, Sarah Carlson, Katie Brandon, Bailey Riggs, Zach Stubblefield, Ryleigh Tucker, Kenzie Darst, Maddie Stephens, and Zephanie White.
