Culminating Project
Beginning with the class of 2008, seniors will be required to successfully complete a Culminating Project. The Culminating Project is a new Washington State graduation requirement. It is designed to give students a chance to demonstrate they have the skills necessary to succeed after high school graduation by creating and completing a self-directed project of their choice. The project will require meaningful research, the creation of a product or event as an outgrowth of that research, the sharing of the project with others, and a reflection on the learning process.
The Culminating Project is intended to be a self-selected project that demonstrates student competency in selecting, planning, researching and presenting an independent project. Students are highly encouraged to select and complete a project that has a high degree of personal interest.
All students will be assigned a faculty supervisor and will meet regularly with that faculty supervisor during the 2007-2008 school year to check progress, turn in paperwork, seek advice and have their project evaluated.
