Senior Project 2025
Senior Project Mission Statement
The ThunderRidge High School Senior Project will assess a senior student's skills in researching, writing an argumentative paper, creating and completing a project, and teaching others about it through a formal presentation.
Purpose
The purpose of the Senior Project is to give students a chance to choose an area of study, to combine different disciplines, and to explore new avenues in a productive manner. Each student needs to address a challenging issue that will stretch his/her intellectual and personal growth. In essence, the project will provide a significant learning stretch.
Senior Boards
ThunderRidge High School is issuing a call for judges to assess Seniors regarding their Oral Presentations, Portfolio Presentation, and Product Review on Friday, April 11, 2025 from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. The Senior Board will listen and evaluate students presenting their Senior Projects. This will be a positive and fun learning experience where you will see our students at their very best. All members of the community are invited to assist in this project as the Seniors currently prepare for their time to shine. Training and lunch will be provided on Senior Board Day.
Mentorship
As a mentor you will help guide the student with their learning, and upon completion, you will be asked to verify the student's effort on his/her physical product/fieldwork. Since most of the time spent on the product phase of the assignment will be outside of the classroom, verification of the student's efforts is necessary. Be aware that serving as a mentor requires a time commitment from you that includes regular contact.
After completing the interest form, you will receive a follow up email with a district volunteer application to complete and return before you are able to serve as a mentor.
