Welcome to the Culminating Project!
Each student is required to complete a Culminating Project as a requirement for graduation. Culminating Projects are interest-based and related to the students’ career pathway. The project is an opportunity for student’s to use academic skills and content knowledge to gain new, deeper levels of understanding.
Students are challenged to extend their learning outside of class on a project of their choice. The Project involves thinking analytically, logically, and creatively and integrating experience and knowledge to form reasoned judgments and solve problems. Typically, the project would be focused on an essential question.
The student must develop their project objectives and the steps they will take to complete their project. The student will: maintain documentation of project tasks and activities; prepare and give a presentation, and; write a reflective summary in which the student will discuss the importance of the learning and identify how performance, effort, and decisions will be applied in their future.
How Do Students Complete Their Culminating Project?
Students have two options from which they may choose to complete their project:
1) Enroll in an approved course that has been identified as meeting the requirements of the Culminating Project, or
2) Enroll in an Alternative Learning Experience class.
Either option requires the student to enroll in the class in which they will complete their culminating project. Please read the Overview for more information
