Senior Project

Today, the seniors who participated in Senior Project spent several hours in the commons showcasing their experiences and accomplishments. 21 of the students participating were "my" students and I tried to get a picture of all of them together, but that just wasn't possible with so many people talking to them to learn about their experiences.  My students who participated in senior project included: Tamanna Afrin, Ndidi Anaraodo, Lauren Anderson, Rory Arthur, Tristan Ballinger, Danielle Barker, Kayla Beals, Sam Beerman, Maddie Case, Hannah Chambers, Danielle Chan, Erin Cheung, Nick Contreras, Charlie Cox, Cassidy Crouch, Ronnie Dahn, Holly Dargenio, Abby Eymann, Skyla Ferguson, Nate Skidmore, and Abby Souder.

Senior project is a great 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.  My students selected a wide range of careers including (among others) doctors, nurses, sports information professions, teachers, marketing and design, firefighters, welding and engineering. This opportunity 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. Congratulations and Great Job on your Senior Projects!
