Senior Project
Required for graduation, 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 with a research paper, as an experiment, or by creating a product or performance. A sampling of past projects include:
Ethics of the Stock Market and Stock Trading
How to Build a Drone
The Impact of Altitude on the Likelihood of Brain Disease
