Senior Project  


All students must demonstrate their learning at the proficient level in a culminating project in order to graduate. The culminating project is a validation, celebration, and rite of passage that allows students to demonstrate their prior learning and share it with their peers and community. Completing this project shows the culmination of a K-12 education. It gives students the chance to demonstrate individual student growth across state learning goals. The culminating project provides opportunities to demonstrate diverse learning styles and interests.

The culminating project also connects the community to the school and student. A public presentation is a required component of all culminating projects. This presentation is evaluated by a panel made up of staff and community members. The Culminating Senior Project is required for graduation from the Edmonds School District. Although basic Senior Project requirements and evaluation criteria are the same district-wide, individual high schools determine exactly how the Senior Project is implemented in their school.

There are 5 phases to the Senior Project at Lynnwood High School:

Proposal
Research and Applied Learning
Portfolio
Presentation
Reflection Essay

The purpose of the Senior Project is to provide: a forum for you to demonstrate the ability to apply the skills and knowledge you have gained in school and elsewhere; a situation in which you do in-depth learning in an area of particular interest to you; a public exhibition of what you know and are able to do; a significant step toward becoming a life-long learner. Many students use the Senior Project as a chance to explore a career or do a service for the community. For others it is a chance to learn about something that is not a part of the curriculum at Lynnwood High School. Regardless of the direction your project takes, the best part is that you get to design it.

The Senior Project experience is what you make of it. Senior Project is formally introduced to students in their English class. As students work on and complete the project, their progress is monitored in senior English classes.
