Senior Project


The senior project is undergoing a transformation.  The project is changing to a model based on careers.  The project will be fully implemented with this year's freshman.  It will encompass career field exploration, internship, service in community and school, demonstration of high school proficiency in math, writing, and speech.  Details will be given to students as the school year begins.


Take the Opportunity


DUAL CREDIT COURSE
Junior and Seniors are encouraged to participate in Dual Credit Course.  What could be better than gaining College Credit and High School Credit at the same time?  The district has budgeted, on a first come first serve basis, financial support for dual credit courses. Guidelines and classes will be available at registration.
