Students Step into Leadership through Senior Projects

During the week before Christmas break, our PAA seniors took center stage as they presented their Senior Projects, an important milestone that showcases their creativity, perseverance, and growth. Each project is student-designed and student-led, requiring at least 50 hours of planning, learning, problem-solving, and execution, all supported by a supervising teacher.

The experience culminated in a formal presentation to a panel of staff, followed by thoughtful Q&A, where seniors confidently shared not just what they created, but their experience and what they learned through the process. Once again, our students rose to the challenge with impressive and inspiring results.

Projects spanned an incredible range of interests and skills, including restoring and repairing cars and trailers, building greenhouses and furniture, sewing, knitting, and painting, writing novels, creating coffee table books, and recording and producing music and videos, just to name a few. Each project reflected the student behind it: their passions, determination, and willingness to take on something new.

Many of these projects will be displayed in the library in mid-March, and we can’t wait to share them with our community. We are incredibly proud of our seniors and the hard work, courage, and excellence they demonstrated through this meaningful capstone experience.
