  2. What is Senior Project? Senior Project is a method for determining what 12th graders know and can do as they prepare to graduate from high school. Seniors write a research paper on an approved topic of student choice, develop a related product as a result of 10 hours of community service, create a digital portfolio, and present their findings before a review panel comprised of community members and educators.

  3. The program emphasizes writing, speaking, and personal skills such as planning and time management. These skills are mandatory for success in today’s society.

  4. Purpose of the Senior Project • The Senior Project at DHS is an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they know and to showcase their achievement. The Project must be successfully completed as a component of English 12, which is a required course for all graduating seniors. This process has been highly acclaimed and proven successful in many high schools across the country.

  5. The Purpose • The Senior Project is a fitting conclusion to students’ high school education because, through the project, they are able to demonstrate accumulated skills in reasoning, research, problem-solving, human interaction, organization and public speaking. This is an appropriate culmination of their K-12 education because these are the very skills and abilities which they will be expected to demonstrate as college students and/or employees.

  6. The Purpose • Your child’s education will be enriched because of participation in Senior Project.
