Our program on the 10th was a presentation by Briana Wilson and Rob Virgin on the new program at the high school called the Senior Capstone Project.
Members of the senior class participate in this program which is an off-campus experience at the end of the high school career. The students in the program spend 60 hours in one of four roles: a job shadow, doing a service project, traveling to learn, or an individual project. Each student has a mentor in this effort, and at the end of the project, all of them will have a display of their project and the results in the school gym. Under-classmen will tour the displays, and hopefully ask questions of the seniors.
This program is designed to give the students some practical experience in the field they will enter, and will “cap’ their high school learning experience.
