What do I think about Senior Projects? It prepares our students for the real world in a way academic classes can’t. It lets them have success in their own choices. It involves the entire faculty with our Seniors. It lets the community see what our graduates can do. It is an antibiotic for senioritis. It is worth the time, the planning, and the effort.

Any questions?
