Each Hillsboro School District high school senior is required to complete a senior project in order to graduate. The requirement for these projects is set by the District and the Oregon Department of Education. Students completing a Career and College Pathway will have the opportunity to complete their senior project requirements through the advanced-level capstone course. Capstone courses are identified in the capstone column of the Career and College Pathway Courses Sequence charts. Seniors not enrolled in a Career and College Pathway will complete their senior project through a Senior Seminar course (see page 103 for course information).
Senior-level Career and College Pathway courses and Senior Seminar provide students the opportunity and support to design and implement their senior project. The project will represent the interests, knowledge, and skills they have gained in high school and their visions for their future education and work.
Senior portfolios include:
- Educational plan and profile
- Evidence of extended application (requires a research or reflection paper)
- Project documents and evaluations
- Exhibition documents
- 15-hour minimum career related learning experience*
* Cord eligibility may require additional hours, please see School-to-Career Specialist.
