About This Class

The Senior Project acts as a bridge between high school and college and/or a career. Each student is expected to write a research paper on a chosen topic and apply the knowledge they gain in a 20-hour independent project. At the end of the semester, students present what they learned to a panel of judges and turn in a portfolio of work to their teacher.

Quotation

"Authentic writing assignments should
require students to move beyond their prior knowledge to the creation and application of new knowledge."
Lori A.S. Kixmiller
