The four components required to receive the Senior Project Credit necessary for graduation are as follows:

1. An approved research paper
2. An approved oral board presentation
3. The "Verification" sheet submitted indicating that the student has completed at least ten hours toward his/her physical project
4. Attendance at the Senior Project Fair

1. You must have the physical project approved via the letter of intent before you begin working on it.
2. No student will be allowed to be an early graduate unless the research paper has been approved. Students will be assigned to a full schedule until this portion of the project is finished.
3. Upon completion of the project, students will receive one credit that will be applied toward their diploma.
4. Diplomas will be withheld pending the completion of the Senior Project. If a student chooses not to complete the Senior Project by the last day of the school year, then that student will begin anew with the Senior Project during the following school year.

• *Important Note: 
• It is a requirement to be in attendance unless you have a school-related conflict. 
• For those of you who have a school-related conflict ------
• You must still have your project set-up.  A writing piece explaining your absence and describing what you would tell observers if you were present must accompany your display.
• For those of you who have a job ---------
• Please give your employer plenty of notice to be excused from work that evening.  If you have any questions, please see Mr. Rickey.
• Anyone who misses this night for a reason other than a school-related activity will have to make up the time after the last senior school day at a place to be named later.
