Senior Project 

SENIOR PROJECT                                         2.5 credits

This semester program is for seniors who want to work independently to develop an original project.  Students who apply for this program must be seniors in good standing, who are creative, possess critical thinking skills, and are able to manage time and tasks efficiently.  The Senior Project can be a research paper, a project, a study, a creation in art or music, a construction, a video, or other creative work.  During the Senior Project period, the student will report to the library.  Exceptions will only be approved by an Assistant Principal. 

The Senior Project must be:

• Academically linked to one of the school’s departments: English, mathematics, world languages, music, business, science, art, etc.

• A college-level project

• A rigorous learning experience that is challenging and will significantly add to the student’s knowledge and/or skills

• Approved, guided, supported, and graded by a faculty advisor

Seniors must submit a proposal for their project that will be reviewed by a group of faculty members, a department head and an administrator.  Participants will be selected from those who submit a quality proposal that explains the type of Senior Project being considered.  The culmination of the project is a presentation to a panel of faculty members.  All the information needed for the application to this program is available in the school counseling office.
