To participate in the graduation ceremony and senior week activities, all seniors must complete a capstone project. Students can choose between four capstone classrooms: a 4-year college/university, a 2-year college/technical college, a workforce setting, or a military setting. Each capstone has a list of unique assignments that help the student prepare for their future and ensure they are on track to graduate and move to the next step in their life. To begin their capstone project, students must first meet with the school counselor.
