Graduation
Project
Students entering the ninth grade for the first time in 2006-07 and
beyond are required to successfully complete and pass the Graduation
Project. It is a performance-based exit assessment that provides
students with a vehicle to demonstrate what they know and are able to do
as they prepare to graduate from high school. Though the project
culminates in the graduation year, students will be prepared with
specific skill activities beginning in their ninth grade year so that
they can be successful on the project.
Components of the Graduation Project:
Research
Paper—This paper requires students to develop and demonstrate
proficiency in conducting research and writing about a chosen in-depth
