Senior Projects
The Senior Project has been amended recently to account for the COVID restrictions. Please review the Senior Project Manual for updated guidelines.
To graduate from Potter Valley High School, you must complete a senior project. The project is student-driven and is planned and completed in the student's senior year. It includes working with an outside mentor, writing formal business letters and proposals, a research paper related to the project, a portfolio, and an oral presentation of the final project result. Students must spend at least 15 hours on the actual project, which can contain aspects of community service, career exploration, learning new skills, and/or job shadowing.
Past projects include creating murals for the school, hosting an art exhibit at a local gallery, building a guitar, holding a softball camp, building a rocket engine, job shadowing veterinarians and physical therapists, renovating the snack shack, rebuilding a car engine, and training a horse.
