[edit] Capstone
Each student completes a Capstone project - a display of comphrension and mastery of a given field - that focuses on a field-related topic. A student's technical courses, junior and senior year English courses, and T.E.C.H. courses are involved in its completion.
The project is separated into three parts:
- technical paper (eleventh grade)
- product or project-related community service (11th and 12th grades)
- presentation with visual aides (twelfth grade)
If a mean grade of 60% or above is earned, a student is presented with a technical certificate (or available equivalent) upon graduation.
