SENIORS

There is a state requirement this year that all seniors must have a qualifying score on a state test (SAT, Accuplacer, ASVAB, etc). You discussed this when Mr. Penzel came to your Capstone classes or in your senior meeting with your counselor. If you have not had your senior meeting with your counselor please send them an email or put your name on their whiteboard up in the counseling office.

If you need to take the Accuplacer here are instructions to help you sign up!

CAPSTONE Demo night
Credit Recovery

We had a great turnout for last night's capstone demo of learning. Close to a hundred seniors presented their capstone projects to an audience of family, teachers, staff, friends, and the general public.

Every year our seniors amaze us with their creativity, passion, and interests. Some of these capstones included food & culture exploration, fitness programs, music production, car & jeep mechanics, artwork, photography, literature, writing a children's book, bike riding, animation, sports, homelessness, stock market investing, ski, surfboard & clothing design, adoption, climate change, crocheting for Ukraine, computer & 3-D printing builds, middle school tutoring programs, pilot licensing, adaptive skiing, MahJong, training an emotional support dog, and horse training skills.

Stay tuned for our next capstone demo of learning later this spring!
