STUDENT HIGHLIGHTS

The Class of 2020 included fourteen honors students who completed a Senior Capstone Project in their area of Concentration. Topics ranged from statistics in baseball to the history of famous ballads through the years. Some students completed an intensive research paper, others included a project component like a senior recital or an awareness campaign. AMELIA GREEN and MARCUS GOMEZ both completed their capstone project in STEM.

MARCUS GOMEZ

Marcus chose to research the widely debated topic of vaccines under the mentorship of his dad, who is a doctor. Marcus plans to attend the University of Arizona Honors College to pursue a career in medicine.

AMELIA GREEN

Amelia chose to research the topic of the pro-life campaign and chose Choices Pregnancy Center to sponsor. Under the mentorship of Roxana Rogers, she partnered with Bethany Bible Church by initiating a baby bottle drive. Amelia raised over $6,000 for Choices!

Each of the 14 students encountered great challenges this spring having to complete their Capstone projects from home and present their projects through Zoom to a panel of faculty and staff. Congratulations to this very talented group of young people. They will no doubt make a difference in this world!
