April and May mark the final stretch of senior year and include important academic milestones, celebrations, and graduation events.

April begins with the Senior Internship Program, starting with Internship Bootcamp, which prepares students for their placements. Internships officially begin on April 9, marking the transition from classroom learning to real-world experience for participating seniors.

May is filled with major senior milestones.
The last day of classes is May 15, followed by Senior Exams. Senior Final Examination Information is as follows:

Final Exam Exemptions: Seniors who earn an average of at least a B (83 or higher) through the end of the 4th quarter and have fewer than 6 unexcused absences during second semester will be exempt from taking final exams.
Internship Students: Seniors participating in an internship do not take final exams, unless enrolled in AP or Dual Enrollment courses.
Exam Format: Semester-length courses generally have a 2-hour exam worth 20% of the semester grade. In courses where an exam is not appropriate, an alternative evaluative activity will be scheduled.
Attendance During Exams: Students are only required to be in school when they have a scheduled exam and may leave campus for lunch during exams.
Make-Up Exams: Exams missed due to illness or other excused absences must be approved by the Main Office.

Invited seniors will be recognized at Senior Awards to celebrate academic and personal achievements.
