Senior Honors Project

Any senior who has at least a 3.0 overall GPA and is earning at least a B in all courses is eligible to submit a proposal for a Senior Honors Project. Students who have their proposals accepted must continue to carry at least a B in all courses to be able to participate in the Senior Honors Project Program.

Interested students would begin in January to plan their Senior Honors Project documents that must be provided according to the timeline provided at that time. Seniors doing a project will be released from school at the beginning of May to work on their project. Work continues throughout the month of May, and the commitment to the project is 30 hours per week for three weeks. No pay can be accepted by the student for this experience. Students participating will receive either a grade of “P” (passing) or “F” (failing), and the grade will be noted on the students’ transcripts. No actual credit toward graduation is awarded.

A student who plans and executes a successful Senior Honors Project can benefit from the experience in many ways, including:

• Gain valuable references for the future
• Interact in an adult world
• Present oneself in an interview situation
• Express ideas clearly and succinctly
• Explore a career field to gain insights into the nature of the work
• Experience great personal satisfaction in organizing and completing a project successfully
