Volunteers needed to judge Carson High School senior class projects
Seniors at Carson High School in Carson City are actively engaged and meticulously rendering their time and talents for the benefit of our community and their future careers.
In order to be eligible to graduate, each senior must complete a Senior Class Project. Since 2001, this challenging and successful endeavor provides students an opportunity to demonstrate the skills and knowledge they have accumulated and apply these to an area of their own interest.
Components of the Senior Project include a student-directed project, creation of a portfolio of the completed project (a capstone to their education career in the Carson City School District) and a formal oral presentation to a panel. This assignment requires a great deal of time and commitment on the part of the student, all while preparing them for their future. These projects may include job shadowing a sushi chef, learning to blow glass or selling T-shirts benefitting nonprofits aimed at abolishing modern slavery and rescuing girls from the sex trade.
Last year, nearly 400 community volunteer judges reviewed project portfolios and sat on panels to score oral presentations (approx. 25,000 volunteer hours).
Student portfolio viewing/reviews begin Monday, April 9, and continue through Saturday, April 21. The High School is still in need of community volunteers and mentors to assist with the judging the three sessions of oral presentations Monday, April 23, at Carson High School (8:00-9:40 a.m., 10:00-11:40 a.m. and 12 noon to 1:40 p.m.). Training sessions to become a Senior Project Panel Judge will be held April 10, 12 and 14. Go here for additional information on how you can volunteer.
