Capstone Project

The Capstone Project at Gorham High School is designed for students to utilize all of the skills and knowledge that they have developed throughout their time at Gorham Middle & High School. It is our hope that each student is able to develop a chosen passion, and then showcase their new learning of this passion using critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, advocacy, time management, technology, oral presentation skills, and to improve upon their skills of becoming independent learners. Students are required to seek new learning opportunities, research careers and the steps to becoming successful young adults, and provide community service to give back to the community who has given so much to them. Students must also be collaborative and proactive in their efforts. Students will need to learn to seek out an appropriate advisor, mentor, staff, and family and friends in appropriate and successful ways to help them move forward in this process. Therefore, this project embraces 21st Century Learning Skills, as well as our Core Values and Beliefs.
