Senior Project

Senior Project is a unique opportunity for Kilbourne students.  Seniors who elect to participate in senior project spend the 4 weeks of their high school career out shadowing and assisting at various career sites.  15 of the 46 students who took advantage of the chance to learn about careers for the last few weeks were "my" students.  They selected a wide range of range of career fields such as in education, healthcare, law enforcement, real estate, religious organizations, communications, engineering and working with planes. 

Senior project allows students the chance to learn more about what a career involves.  This up-close, in depth look at what a job really entails enabled the students to decide if this specific career is what they'd like to pursue in the future.  In talking with the students today some felt that this experience solidified their future plans and others felt it was valuable because it helped them realize that this was not the job they wanted to pursue for the rest of their lives - valuable information either way. It sounded as if they all had meaningful and informative experiences during the month as they spent time in a career field of interest.

My students who participated in senior project included: Mackenzie Bell, David Boord, Jason Bowen, Dylan Buford, Ava Burson, Tre' Caesar, Ranyah Chahine, Leah Coen, Tania Craig, Maggie Crozier, Kennedy Dauphin, Audrey Douglass, Olivia Durbin, Deane Elliott, and Michael Fischer.

 Congratulations and Great Job on your Senior Projects!
