2009 Senior Project Presentations

May 05, 2009

Students, teachers, parents, community evaluators and visitors watched as THS seniors presented senior projects at the BancorpSouth Arena.  "This is the first year we've called it the culmination project," English teacher Brenda Key said.  The program began six years ago as the senior project.  Now starting during a student's junior year with a research paper and the tentative selection of a topic, "It's an ongoing project where students explore and examine their interests, their talents," Key said.  "It's made up of three components - a research paper, the product, which can also be a process, and then of course there's Culmination Day."  On Culmination Day, community evaluators ask students about their projects, and parents also have a chance to view their children's efforts.
