As a culmination of skills learned
since the freshman year, the Senior Project includes time
management, research, writing and presentation skills. College
admissions officers state that students who complete senior projects
have an advantage during the admissions process. Through the senior
project, students show what they can do as well as what they know.
They must set goals, work independently, solve problems, and master
the art of written and verbal communication. Students must
successfully complete the project in order to graduate from the
Liberal Arts Magnet.
Students are
expected to spend at least 100 hours outside class developing a
portfolio and a product which will be presented to a panel of
community judges during the spring of their senior year.
Twenty-five of the 100 hours must be spent with a mentor who is an
expert in the field the student has chosen.
