The following items will be required of all seniors:

" Every senior will prepare a résumé and letter of introduction.

" Every senior will prepare for presentation a "senior project" that represents some aspect of her/his educational life experiences.

" The members of the Class of 2009 must each complete 40 hours of non-school time community service between 6/20/2005 and 3/2/09. (It has been strongly suggested that students have completed at least ten hours each year in school.) A minimum of twenty hours must be completed by 1/9/09.

" Each student will include in his/her portfolio a list of the courses he/she took during each year of his/her high school career. The list will serve to help exit interviewers better understand each student's background. This list need not include grades.

" The Annual Senior Exit Questionnaire will be updated for all members of the Class of 2009 to complete. It is a tool to help the Academy assess the effectiveness of the total school program.

" Working with his or her guidance counselor, each senior will complete a high school to post-graduation career plan.

" Every senior will keep a monthly journal (September to March) to document the progress being made on meeting the portfolio requirements. It should be shared monthly with the advisor.

" Every portfolio will include a beginning of project and a separate end of project narrative. In these, the student will describe his/her portfolio plans and experiences.

" Each senior will present his/her completed portfolio, including a senior project, to a committee of community members during a thirty-minute exit interview.
