Requirements

In order to graduate, students must complete their Senior Portfolio in addition to their required classes.

The projects should all be gathered in a Google Folder.  If you want to include larger projects or artwork, you will have to take a picture to include in your Google Folder.  You will do a Google Presentation about the projects you choose, what skills you learned and how you’ve grown.
