Capstone Opportunities
Capstone Course: Grade 12 - 1 credit (783)
Students work individually or in teams to invent or innovate a working solution to an open-ended “real world” problem or address/ explore a need. Students will need to apply skills learned throughout their high school career, drawing upon and applying prior knowledge and skills. Students will present and defend their original work to an outside panel. While progressing through the course, students will work closely with experts and will continually hone their organizational, communication, interpersonal skills, and their creative and problem solving abilities. Evaluation will include, but will not be limited to: artifacts, portfolio, reflections, and final project presentation.
Internship: Grades 11-12 - 0.5 credit (782) or 1 credit (784)
Students in grades 11 and 12 interested in any of the TVHS Career Pathways can gain experience in a particular career area such as a business, a non-profit organization, a K-8 educational setting, or some other workplace. This program will prepare our students for a career, help them examine their career interests, and explore avenues for continuing post-secondary education. Students are assigned to a workplace environment for 1 or more blocks each day to complete their internship for academic credit. Students assigned to off-campus internships must provide their own transportation.
Students who intend to enroll in this program must complete all paperwork by the end of the current school year. Students must secure an approved training station/mentor/employer by the first day of the new school year; otherwise, the student will be scheduled for a full academic schedule. Please choose alternate electives in case your internship assignment does not schedule.
