Introduction
What
Is It?
The
Culminating Project is a graduation requirement that gives
students the opportunity to connect school to life. Students
choose projects that connect to vocational, academic, service,
and/or cultural interests. The CP is a journey for the student
in self-awareness. This project is about the student-they own
it, personalize it to their life and their interests.
These projects are the basis for
students to refine and demonstrate skills they have gained in
school while pursuing a personal interest.
