Keystone Project
Keystone Project
A keystone is the center stone of an arch; the stone that holds the arch together and connects both sides of the arch for stability and grounding. This project serves as a keystone, transitioning students from elementary school to student-led intentional teen and adult life. It is a time to reflect back on the past, the markers and milestones of life and to look forward to the future with purpose.
PACT 8th graders are required to complete a Keystone Project of their choosing during their 8th grade year. Click here to access project options, instructions, and information. This year's projects will be presented to your Adviser and other staff on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. The schedule will be posted in the Spring.
