REQUIREMENTS
SENIOR CAPSTONE The goal of the capstone is to provide students with an
opportunity to apply their academic skills to a new experience while further defining and developing their future goals During their capstone experiences, students will complete an internship, possibly start a business or hone a skill, reflect on their experiences, research a relevant topic, and create and present a display Students will also
be encouraged to reflect on their God-given gifts and talents as well as areas in which they need to grow Students who successfully complete the capstone experience will have a robust resume, proven research and presentation skills, and perhaps most importantly, relationships with people who work in their fields of interest and can guide them toward future success
