The
CCS Graduation Project is intended to be a comprehensive learning activity of
the
highest quality both in scope and breadth.
The goal is to provide students with a learning
experience that proves
both memorable and educational. It
is the expectation that
students will use this opportunity to develop
yet-unexplored talents and skills in an area of
interest.
The purpose is to challenge students to go beyond what is learned in the
regular
high school curriculum. While
research skills are at the forefront of the project, social skills and
life
skills are learned in the process. Both
the process and the project are important in
the Graduation Project.
It is the goal that the experience of developing the Graduation Project
will help all students become lifelong learners.
Successful
completion of a Graduation Project is a requirement for graduation.
Different elements of the Graduation Project are completed each year
during high school.
There are five different areas of study available to the students.
The categories are analytical research, career research, cultural
experience,
demonstration/exhibition/performance experience, and service
experience.
