It's Read Across America Week! Here are the dress up days for this week.
Did you know there are only 40 days until the Fine Arts Fair? Our Fine Arts Fair is a magical night of art displays, musical performances, and Senior Project Presentations. What are senior projects, you may ask? Senior Project is a capstone experience that our seniors must do to graduate from Edgemont. The project is extremely taxing on students, requiring hours of work in the form of a ten-page research paper, a minimum of 20 hours spent on a product of their choice, work with an advisor and mentor, and two separate presentations in front of a judges' panel. For the next 40 days, we will periodically release information about one of our seniors and their respective projects. While other schools are cutting their senior project graduation requirements, Edgemont High School continues to honor its high expectations for students. Each year, our seniors produce awesome projects. If you check out the link below, you can see the link to this year’s projects thus far and projects from years past.
To begin our look at the senior projects and to start our 40-day countdown until the Fine Arts Fair, let’s take a moment to appreciate Senior Jackie Heisler's project. She visited a dinosaur dig site to learn about geology and fossil recovery. Check out the link below to learn more about her project and future ambitions. Way to go, Jackie! Keep up the great work! #MightyMoguls #LayingTheTracks #FullSteamAhead
