Your senior project is a wonderful opportunity! LOHS Seniors are required to spend twenty hours learning something new while developing their skills. This page explores the various tasks required to complete your senior project:
- Senior Project Proposal (Due by 10/21)
- SP Flyer (Due by 11/20)
- SP Flyer Presentation (12/18)
- Progress Reports (#1 due 1/27, #2 due 3/17))
It is time to turn your ideas into a single measureable project. All projects must have a starting point, plans, and an end goal. You will outline these essential components in your Senior Project Declaration Narrative. This is your final pitch for your senior project. Proposals must be submitted for approval by October 21st. Projects will be approved on a first come, first served basis.
A few important reminders:
1. The Senior Project Declaration Narrative must be signed by parent/guardian. Please discuss your plans with your parents/guardians.
2. Use formal academic writing - Your final SP Declaration Narrative should be free of spelling and grammar errors. You are in your final year of high school, and your writing should reflect that. This is not the time to be brief in your response, as always, single sentence answers are unacceptable. Be specific and detailed.
3. Be original and unique with your project idea.
4. How will the experience be a learning stretch for you? How will the project coordinators evaluate your success? Remember the three Cs: college, career, or community! This is important and critical for approval for your project. Be thoughtful in your response.
