Senior Project Hall of Fame

Senior Project Hall of Fame

 

A new tradition began with the Class of 2007. The SENIOR PROJECT HALL OF FAME was established as recognition for seniors whose projects met the following criteria for selection. Nominations were received from English 12 teachers and recipients were chosen by a committee consisting of the senior project coordinator, a member of the original Senior Project exploration faculty team and the principal’s appointee.
 
Selection criteria:
 
  • The student made an exemplary effort to carry out the project.
  • The project was a true stretch for the student.
  • The project went beyond the student’s personal fulfillment to benefit someone or something else.
  • The project was completed by the deadline.
  • The project can stand as a model of academic and personal integrity in the true spirit of Columbus East High School’s standard for senior projects.
