Senior Project

A JHCS graduation requirement, the Senior Project is a capstone and culmination of 12+ years of learning, an opportunity to investigate personal passions, a showcase for critical thinking skills, and an integral part of every JHCS student's legacy.

All projects have a research, writing, and field work component, and projects are formally presented at Senior Symposium at the end of each school year. To complete Senior Projects, students demonstrate initiative by managing their time independently and effectively, utilizing community resources, and employing scholarly research methods. Students can choose to express their findings and learning through the creation of a Product or via an Apprenticeship in our local community. A sampling of past projects include:

Ethics of the Stock Market and Stock Trading
