Acceptable Projects
You may already have an idea that you want to explore. However, you may be at a loss. If so, take a reflective look back at your life so far; books you have enjoyed, activities, assignments, achievements, even frustrations and things that have confused you. What grabs your attention? What would you like to fix, do, learn, understand, see, improve, create, experience…?
Your project will probably fall into one or more of the following categories: Career Exploration, Design a Product System or Service, Event/Activity Planning, Learn a New Skill/Improve an Existing Skill, or Research. Use the information below to guide you in choosing your project. You want to decide on the most valuable learning experience for yourself. The more you work on this project, the more you will benefit from the experience.
Career Exploration A Career Exploration project is one of the most valuable types of projects because you can learn in depth about a possible career area that might be right for you. It can include an internship and a possible career plan. You will learn about wages, working conditions, job prospects, education requirements and the “ins and outs” of a career that could give you a head start to a successful life after high school. There is a career for every interest! Examples: Teach a class Intern at a local business Assist a community expert Apply PSSC learning beyond the classroom See Career Exploration sheet (pg. 19)
Design a Product, System, or Service This category is a great area for the person thinking about a possible future in engineering, industrial design, or entrepreneurship. You would develop a design and evaluate the quality of the design by gathering information from sources such as impact studies, product testing or market research. You would make adjustments as needed to conform to specified standards of quality and/or safety. Examples: Design a house/vacation cabin and create an architectural model Create a website Construct a complex computer network system Make and market spa products Build an investment portfolio Build a computer Create a portfolio of 3-D computer art
Culminating Project Page 10 Highline High School Event/Activity Plan This area would benefit the person thinking about a future in, perhaps, the travel industry, the entertainment industry, and/or recreation business area. In this area you would conduct research, target your audience, organize it all, and make it happen without any hitches. Examples: Maintain/improve a park trail Organize an environmental reclamation project Create a travel video Plan and carry out a cultural awareness program Plan, organize, and host a talent show
Please note: Projects involving donations of any sort need special approval and must follow specific guidelines (pg. 8). See your advisor for more information.
Learning a New Skill or Improving an Existing Skill This category is a popular one for students wanting to learn something that could turn into a career possibility in areas such as auto mechanics, music, writing, sports, etc. You would conduct research into current methods and practices, develop your skills, and determine ways to measure and prove that you are now better at the skill. Examples: Write, produce, and direct a play Produce a CD of original music Write, film, edit, and produce a film Write a novel Choreograph a dance Rebuild a car Redesigning a room
Research The Research area is beneficial for students preparing for a four-year university education in any area. You would develop a central question of social, economic, environmental, political, historical, or scientific significance. You would extensively research it and write a high quality research paper, building and developing an argument using logical thinking and data from research to support your conclusion. You are required to have primary sources which entail consulting with experts in the field to provide a community connection.
In deciding whether or not a particular project idea will work, consider the following: can you find a mentor who is an expert in this field is research information available on your topic is the project financially affordable will it require at least 20 hours minimum outside of class time to complete will it maintain your interest over a long period of time will it be approved by your advisor and parent/guardian
Culminating Project Page 11 Highline High School Remember, your project needs to stretch your abilities and challenge your limitations while at the same time be reasonable and do-able within the given time.
Unacceptable Projects The Culminating Project allows for a wide variety of topic ideas. Although there may be similarities between projects in theme and scope, students may not work together on an individual project. In addition, projects with simplistic or non-challenging issues will not be accepted. Some activities may not be appropriate due to safety concerns. These activities will cause problems and are not acceptable for your project: Illegal activities Air or flight activities such as flying, gliding, helicopters, ballooning, parachuting, or skydiving Activities such as canoeing, white water rafting, snow skiing/boarding, or water skiing High risk activities such as rock climbing, juggling knives, bungee jumping or high-impact aerobics Tattooing, body piercing, human experimentation Weapons activities Non-approved athletics (not a current sport) See District Guidelines for more detailed restrictions
Financial Requirements Projects involving donations of any sort need special approval and must follow specific guidelines. Funds may not be raised using the names of Highline High or the Highline School District. Students should collect nonmonetary items for donations or collect only for recognized 501C3 organizations with documentation from that organization supporting the fundraiser. o Prepare a budget to include expected revenue, donations, and expenses. o If you are expecting donated items, include all correspondence seeking the donations and what was received and how the donation was used. Was it part of the operating supplies of the project or was it used for awards. o On the day of the project/event if there is an entry fee at the event the entry fee records need to be kept and verified by two people. o If any profit occurs from events held as part of the project then that profit should be donated to a legitimate 501C3 charity. A receipt for the donation should be obtained from the charity. o Include a copy of the letter to the charity or organization. It is suggested that you purchase a money order to be mailed with the monetary donation. If you are donating nonmonetary items to a charity, document what was donated, to what organization, and obtain a receipt. o Maintain records of all financial matters including revenue, donations, and expenses. These records should be a part of the presentation and available for review by the panel. o Prepare an income/profit statement for the project/fundraiser. o Have an adult, if your mentor is unavailable, sign the records you include indicating that they witnessed and will verify that the reports are accurate. o The financial part of the project can be a great learning experience. The key is keeping detailed records that are clear, concise, and accurate.
Project Proposal Once you have decided on a topic, and before you start working on your project, you need to apply to have your project ideas approved. Complete the Proposal form, turn it in to your
Culminating Project Page 12 Highline High School advisor for approval, and keep it in your records once approved. See Appendix for the Project Proposal Form.
Student/Parent Contract The Culminating Project is a graduation requirement and, therefore, it is important for you and your family to be aware of the requirements and deadlines. You are required to turn in the signed Student/Parent contract to your Advisor. See Appendix for Form.
Culminating Project Page 13 Highline High School C H A P T E R T H R E E : C o m m u n i t y C o n n e c t i o n s One of the requirements of the culminating project is to establish a community connection relevant to your project. This community component might be something like a work/internship-based project, a community service learning project, or a project that includes consultations with various experts who are members of the community.
The community connection will include the following: Documented connection of the Project to the community. How the community connection relates to what was learned in the school and how it was meaningful Connections to future goals
In the Appendix you will find a Mentor Log which you will use to track your meetings with your mentor. A minimum of four Mentor meetings is required.
Identify Your Mentor
Your Mentor will be someone you choose from the community who will assist you with the completion of your project. Your Mentor should be someone you seek out because of his or her expertise in the field of study in which your Project lies. A mentor may not be a family member or a Highline High staff member unless an appeal is granted.
This person can give you advice, answer questions, and verify the hours you commit to working on your project; however, your Mentor does not need to be present whenever you work on your project. Think of your Mentor as a reference, a troubleshooter, a guide. Ideally, your mentor should be able to introduce you to a variety of community experts from which you may gain information and experience. Make sure you choose someone dependable, trustworthy, and available to help you. An ideal mentor, for example, might be:
A project coordinator for a proposed community service A business supervisor for a proposed career related experience A professor or instructor of a proposed academic challenge
Letter to Mentor
To begin, you will compose a letter of interest to a potential Mentor. Your Advisor will approve your draft before you mail it. See Appendix for Template of Letter to Mentor.
Mentor Agreement
Along with the letter, you will send a Mentor Agreement Form. Before you begin working on your Project, this needs to be signed by your Mentor and returned to your Advisor. Please note that students should not meet with their mentor in a room with no other individual present. If you need an exception to this rule, please see your Advisor for required procedures.
Culminating Project Page 14 Highline High School Working with the Community
Before you begin, you need to have parents/guardians review and approve Project activities in the community. For safety reasons, always stay alert to inappropriate behaviors or communications. Discontinue contact immediately if you are uncomfortable with ANYTHING being said, done, suggested, or implied.
When working in the community, always notify your parents/guardians: where you are meeting (if off campus, a public place or place of business is advised) with whom you are meeting how long you plan to meet and when they will return of the purpose for the meeting what transportation you plan to use
To establish a good working relationship with others, you should: set up meetings well ahead of time and then call to confirm immediately before the planned date clearly state your purpose when requesting a meeting date/time and always respect others’ busy schedules be sure when communicating by email or voice mail to leave complete information give people time to respond to messages but follow up when necessary be accommodating, polite, and flexible
If you are working with people in the community with whom you are unfamiliar and will not be meeting in a public location, you are to have your mentor fill out the Volunteer Application and Disclosure Form.
Culminating Project Page 15 Highline High School C H A P T E R F O U R : P r o p o s a l Read Proposal Rubric Before you begin drafting your Proposal, please read the Proposal Rubric so you know what is expected. See Appendix for Proposal Rubric.
Project Proposal The Project Proposal includes five parts: the Project Purpose and Description, New and Challenging Learning, Project Steps, Value to the Student, and Community Connection.
The Project Proposal is available online (school website) or in the handbook: (see Appendix) The draft Proposal– Students draft the basics of their proposed project, making sure their ideas meet the requirements of the project. Once the draft Proposal is accepted, students write the Final Proposal. The Final Proposal –students develop their initial ideas including details, descriptions, and elaboration ensuring they meet all the requirements of the Proposal Rubric.
C H A P T E R F I V E : T h e P r o j e c t Journal/Activity Log - REQUIRED After your Final Project Proposal has been approved and your Mentor set up, you will begin implementing your Project. In order to reflect on your project and show evidence of your participation, you will log and discuss all project activity in a journal including number of hours (minimum of 20). This information includes but is not limited to: Mentor meetings, interviews, phone calls, general project activities, and reflection on your learning and progress. Within your Journal, you will include new learning from at least three resources and include a Bibliography of those resources. Bibliography (Minimum of 3 sources must be cited) o Print - books, manuals, newspapers, other periodicals o Electronic Databases – contain reference books, newspapers, other periodicals o Web – webpages, podcasts, blogs, videos o Personal Interviews Upon completion of your Project, you will turn in your Journal/Activity Log to your Advisor. Mentor Log Throughout your project, you will meet with your Mentor. Your Mentor will answer questions, provide guidance, and potentially provide feedback on your progress. A minimum of four meetings is required. You will complete the Mentor Log and your Mentor will sign it and complete the Feedback form on the back of the log. Upon completion of your Project, you will then turn the Mentor Log in to your Advisor. See Appendix.
Other Project Documentation In addition to your Journal, other documentation of your project will be helpful in completing your Reflection Paper and Final Presentation. Artifacts Scrapbook or Portfolio Visual Evidence (pictures, video, etc.)
Culminating Project Page 16 Highline High School Culminating Project Page 17 Highline High School Documentation (SAMPLES)
1. PROJECT JOURNAL (REQUIRED) The Project Journal provides a place for students to record their work on the project along with ongoing reflections on their progress, including self-evaluations of their personal strengths and weaknesses, thoughts about how the process is moving along, reflections on their attitudes toward the work, and possible implications of the project work on their future education and/or career.
SAMPLE PROJECT JOURNAL DATE REFLECTION
March 6 Activity: Choosing a Topic
Junior Year Reflection: I am having a hard time deciding on a topic-- there are so many things I would like to learn about. I’m thinking about becoming a teacher so I could find out if that is something I would like by working with my middle school teacher and even trying to teach some lessons. I also love planning and organizing so I could do something with event planning. I play soccer, so maybe I could teach a soccer camp or other event. That might be a good idea because I would get to know about working with kids and also planning events. But if I really am serious about teaching, maybe I should just stick with that. I think I will talk to a few of my teachers and my parents to get their opinions. I could also talk to my teacher at Sylvester to get her opinion.
Nov. 5 Activity: After helping kids one-on-one for the past few weeks, I was able to teach my first mini-lesson by myself in the class at Sylvester. Reflection: It went pretty well. I thought I did a good job of getting the kids’ 1.5 hours attention and getting them interested in the lesson. I found it was pretty hard to keep them going and interested. They had a hard time understanding what exactly I wanted them to do and I feel like a lot of them weren’t listening. I will talk with my mentor (the teacher) and see what she has to say. Hopefully she can give me some good ideas to try for next time.
2. VISUAL EVIDENCE Some projects – particularly those that involve the creation of an actual product – can be documented best through a visual record of production stages. For this option, students would take photos or draw sketches of their product during key steps in the process and later present the visuals for viewing through an album or digital display (i.e. PowerPoint). If desired, students can be asked to provide captions or commentary on each visual.
SAMPLE PROJECT PHOTO ALBUM
3. AUDIO/VIDEO EVIDENCE Similar to visual evidence, some projects can be documented through the creation of a project video. For this option, students shoot video of their product during key steps in the process and edit the tape into a brief, viewable “project documentary”. If desired, students can provide an audio commentary of the images shown. Obviously, students need advanced technological skills to successfully document their project in this way.
4. PROCESS ARTIFACTS
Culminating Project Page 18 Highline High School Project process artifacts include any physical items that help tell the story of the project. Many process artifacts exist on paper, in the form of items such as note sheets, business cards, sketches, drafts, receipts, mail, and so forth. If desired, process artifacts can be organized and displayed in a project scrapbook (see suggestion #7 below).
5. PROJECT PORTFOLIO Some schools may want students to combine several of the above options into a single project scrapbook or portfolio that includes activity logs, reflections, photos, visual evidence, process artifacts, etc. These tools can either follow structured guidelines for what to include, or a general description can be provided and students can determine what to include on their own. Project scrapbooks or portfolios are often mounted in 3-ring binders and include plastic slip-covers to protect important pages or documents.
Sample Project Portfolio Table of Contents 1) Welcome and Introduction 2) Copy of Project Proposal 3) Project Journal 4) Photos of the project 5) Draft designs 6) Project artifact scrapbook pages 7) Research materials 8) Reflection Paper
6. PROJECT BIBLIOGRAPHY The Project Bibliography records all research materials used in the project. Often following standard APA or MLA styles, the bibliography can also include annotations regarding the credibility and value of each source used.
SAMPLE PROJECT BIBLIOGRAPHY
Brooks, Shawna. Personal Interview. 12 Feb. 2007. Shawna has a Ph.D. in nutrition and works for Community Hospital as a nutritionist. She answered many of my questions regarding the causes and effects of eating disorders and gave me the titles of two books to help me prepare my lesson plans on anorexia.
Foster, Pat. “Wasting Away.” Newsweek 25 Oct. 2006: 22-23. This magazine article was a bit superficial, but it did help me to see that eating disorders impact guys too and it pointed me towards a useful website.

The last step in the Culminating Project is to formally present your Project to a school-provided panel.
Read Presentation Rubric
Before you begin drafting your presentation, read the Presentation Rubric. See Appendix for Presentation Rubric.
Presentation Guidelines
You should be prepared to speak for a minimum of 8 minutes and a maximum of 20 minutes with 5-10 minutes additional for questions from the panel. Make certain you are prepared to answer questions in a way that discusses your understanding of your topic, what new learning occurred, and a reflection of the process as well as the Project itself. Present information in a logical sequence (see outline below). Come dressed professionally/appropriately. Be sure to arrive at least 15 minutes early. Your presentation must include visual aids. These could include a PowerPoint, poster, photo journal, etc. Be sure you are using this as an aid to your Presentation rather than just an add on. Used properly, your visual aid will reinforce and clarify; used incorrectly it will distract. Make sure you know how to operate any equipment that you will be using.

Culminating Project Page 22 Highline High School Q U E S T I O N S & A N S W E R S
1. What is the Culminating Project? An independent, self-directed individual project completed and presented by the end of your senior year. (See Chapter 1) 2. Why do I need to do this? The Culminating Project is a state graduation requirement (WAC 180-51-061). 3. How long should my project take? Work on the project will begin junior year with the project application. It will be worked on in stages through spring of senior year. The total personal hours invested will vary but will likely be in the range of 30 – 50 hours outside of school. 4. Can I work with a partner on a Culminating Project? No, all components of the project must be completed independently. This is a culmination of individual learning. You must conceive, carry out, and document each stage of your project individually. 5. What if I am a Running Start or PSSC student and don’t have an advisor? You are still responsible for completing the Culminating Project at Highline High. Running Start students will complete their CP with support from their counselor. Afternoon PSSC students will be required to complete their CP at Highline High. 6. What if I have an IEP? You are still responsible for completing a Culminating Project. Any necessary accommodations to the CP requirements must be documented in your IEP. Contact your IEP Case Manager if you believe accommodations would be appropriate. 7. What if I am an ELL student? You are still responsible for completing a Culminating Project. 8. Can I use previous class work or projects to satisfy Culminating Project requirements? No, you may use other work as a starting point but the Culminating Project is an independent Project of new, challenging work. See Appendix for rubrics. 9. What is required? Approved Project Proposal, Project Journal, Documentation, Forms, Reflection Paper and Presentation are required for successful completion of the Culminating Project. Your final presentation will be evaluated by a selected evaluation board. See Appendix for evaluative rubrics. 10. When do I submit my First Proposal (Application)? This should be done in Advisory in the spring of your junior year. New students to Highline will submit their application to their advisor as soon as possible upon entering Advisory. 11. What if my Plan doesn’t get approved? If your plan is not approved there are two options. If your plan was not approved because it needs revising to be more feasible or applicable, you can resubmit it with the necessary changes. If the project is rejected for reasons of district policy or unfeasibility then a new project application will have to be submitted for approval. 12. If I don’t submit a Project Proposal can I work on my project anyway? No, you may not begin working on your project until your Project Proposal and Student/Parent Contract have been approved. 13. Can I submit any components early? Yes, any portion of the project can be completed early, however there will be set presentation dates. Make sure that you are working closely with your advisor on each piece. Projects may not be started prior to your junior year. It is to be a culmination of your learning, not some simple assignment to finish early and get out of the way.
Culminating Project Page 23 Highline High School 14. What if I want to change my Project after I submitted an approved Plan? Discuss this with your advisor, and then submit a new Project Proposal for review. 15. Will I be given time in class to work on my Project? The Culminating Project is not a classroom assignment. You will have time in your Advisory to work on aspects of the project but the majority of work will be done outside of school and in the community. 16. How do I get help when I need it? Your senior advisor will be your contact and support person. If you have an issue or question that they cannot help with they will advise you on whom to see. 17. Can my Mentor be an adult in the school? Teachers as mentors are strongly discouraged. The purpose of a mentor is to provide students “real world” experience from experts in that field. If you are having trouble finding a mentor, ask your parent, counselor or advisor for help. Your advisor has a list of local mentors that might be of assistance. 18. What if I want to do a fund raiser as part of my Project? Projects involving donations of any sort need special approval and must follow specific guidelines. Funds may not be raised using the names of Highline High or the Highline School District. Students should collect nonmonetary items for donations, or collect only for recognized 501C3 organizations with documentation from that organization supporting the fundraiser. See your advisor for more information. 19. Can I use school facilities? Projects involving the use of school facilitates (gym, library, auditorium, etc.) must receive administrative approval and be cleared by the building or PAC facilities organizer. See Facilities Use Form in the Appendix. 20. Can my job be my Project? No. Your Project is new learning, above and beyond what you already know. 21. Can my Project be part of an already organized class, activity, club, or program? No. You must conceive, carry out, and document each aspect of your project. This includes PSSC class activities. 22. If my Project Application is approved and I don’t like it any more, how many times can I re-apply? Since it is a yearlong project, it is best to choose wisely. If you need to re-apply, you may do so. Keep in mind you have a limited amount of time to complete your Project and starting over will slow down the process. 23. Do I have to take the Proposal and Reflection paper to my Presentation? Some students include these pieces as part of their Presentation. It is not a requirement. 24. What if I don’t meet standard on any of the components of the Culminating Project? You will have an opportunity to resubmit your work until all components meet the required standards. 25. Can I skip parts of the Culminating Project? No. Each section indicated on the time line must be successfully completed before progressing on to the next step. For example, the Reflection paper and Presentation may not be submitted until the Project Activities have been successfully completed. 26. What if I don’t pass my Presentation? You will be provided with a second presentation date to re-present. 27. What if I don’t complete a project? Will I graduate? No. If you do not complete all aspects of the Culminating Project you will not participate in Commencement or receive a diploma. It is a Washington State requirement for graduation.
For more information please see your advisor, counselor, or academic dean.

Career Exploration Career exploration is a senior project option that can be both informative and rewarding for students. To alleviate any confusion, here are some general guidelines for this project. There are three parts to a career exploration project: research, job shadow/mentor relationship, career fair presentation. Below is a brief explanation of each part of this project.
Part 1 – Research This should take up at least ¼ of their 20 hours Student should conduct research on the career they have selected. Research results should be collected in an annotated bibliography in MLA style. Research should include the education, salary, experience needed for this career. Students should provide notes for each source in addition to their final annotated bib. Culminating project journal should indicate dates/times/locations of the research conducted. Research should include a variety of sources – print, web, interviews, training films, etc.
Part 2 – Job Shadow/Mentor Relationship This should take up more than ½ of their 20 hours Students will work with someone who is an expert in their chosen field - this is usually their mentor They should probably network with other professionals who they meet through their mentor, and interview them or conduct other job shadows Students should document the time they spend working with their mentor and conducting interviews and job shadows Students should journal about their experiences extensively in their senior project notebooks
Part 3 – Career Fair Presentation This should take up less than ¼ of their 20 hours Students will prepare a visual aid and answer questions to demonstrate their learning Synthesizes what they learned Demonstrates their understanding of the career they selected Provides audience with information about salary, education, and experience needed for the career Can include supplemental information such as student-created brochures Tri-fold (or similar) should be professional in appearance, visually engaging, and demonstrate significant effort. Student responses to questions should be professional and engaging. Students should be prepared to answer a variety of questions about their chosen career.
Note:
Culminating Project Page 25 Highline High School School sponsored programs such as PSSC and STEPS are NOT in themselves appropriate for a career exploration project. There must be significant work done by the student outside the class time. See your advisor or Mrs. Badley for questions.

Dear Parent or Guardian:
The state of Washington has added additional graduation requirements beginning in 2007 to help prepare students for life after high school. One of the additional requirements is the completion of a Culminating Project during a student’s senior year. Along with a community connection, Highline High School students are required to address five components as part of their culminating project: Project Application, Proposal, Project, Reflection and Presentation. Students must meet minimum standards on each of the components to be successful in meeting the graduation requirement. It is important to note that in order for students to graduate and receive a diploma they must successfully complete all portions of this project.
In an effort to insure that parents are aware of this requirement we ask that you read the statements below and sign where appropriate. Please call/email your student’s advisor or counselor if you need further clarification on any of the information provided in this packet.
We, the student and parent/guardian, fully understand that failure to complete a culminating project or meet the minimum standards of the culminating project may jeopardize my (my student’s) graduation.
We also understand that while the community mentor and school advisor play an important role in guiding the student through the process of completing the culminating project, the student alone is ultimately responsible for completing the project and submitting all of the forms and assignments required of him or her.
We fully understand that the community connection and project topic selection is made independently of the staff and administration of the high school, but is subject to school approval. We therefore assume all responsibility for any risks and costs which might be inherent in the chosen project.
Finally, we understand that this must be authentic, student generated work, and that any plagiarizing will lead to failure of the entire project thus impacting graduation status.
Please return to your Advisor at Highline High School.

Dear Mr. Smith:
My name is ______and I plan to create a popping class and teach it as my senior project. What I would like to do is teach three classes of 20 people each. I would like to observe your methods on how to teach a class.
I am sending this letter requesting that you become my mentor. What I need in a mentor is someone who is willing to take some time out of their busy schedule in order to help me complete my senior project. I need a mentor that knows how to teach a dance class and has valuable experience on how to do so.
You are to fill out the mentor agreement form. I would also ask that you look over my project proposal and view the overall plan for the project. If you have questions, contact information will be on the mentor agreement form.
In agreeing to become a mentor, you will need to meet with me a minimum of four times. Agreeing to be a mentor also means that you will be showing me how to teach a dance class. It would also be helpful if you assisted mean in reaching certain deadlines. Meetings must also take place with proper documentation.
I am hoping to finish my senior project by the middle of January. I ask that you fill out the agreement form as soon as possible. I also hope to job shadow you by the beginning of November. I plan to teach a class in December.
Thank you, again, for your consideration in being my mentor. I look forward to working with you.
Sincerely,
Senior Student Highline High School 225 South 152nd Street Burien, WA 98148

Dear Community Member:
Every student in the Highline School District is given the opportunity to demonstrate their readiness for life after high school through the completion of a Culminating Project. You are being approached by a student who wishes to complete his/her community experience with you. Because of your expertise in an area that this student is investigating, you are being asked to serve as their project mentor. Each student has been given the responsibility of becoming as actively involved in the community experience as is reasonably possible. The role of the community mentor, should you choose to accept it, includes: Clarifying with the student what the experience will be including scope, timeline, learning goals, level of hands-on experience, and expected outcomes Communicating clearly to the student what your role will be, when you can meet, and what your time and skill limitations are Meeting at least four times with the student during his/her work on the project to provide input, to make suggestions, to see how the student is applying your feedback, and to judge if the student clearly understands your feedback Providing topic suggestions and resources to support the student’s research paper Ensuring that they are not meeting with students in a room with no other individual present without proper documentation. We at Highline High School appreciate your consideration of this opportunity to support and contribute to the academic achievement of our students. If you are willing to act as a mentor, please complete the bottom portion of this letter. If you have any questions, please contact the Highline High School Culminating Project Coordinator at (206) 631-6700. Sincerely, Highline High School Students and Staff ------Student Name:

Culminating Project Page 36 Highline High School HHS Culminating Project - Events and Building Use Information
EVENTS When hosting an event requiring a facility like a gym, hall, kitchen, etc., the student should first seek a location outside of Highline High in order to provide a “community connection.” o First look in the community for locations such as the Boys and Girls Club, Parks Department, YMCA, churches, halls, or other local organizations. o Using HHS facilities should be a last result and may involve the cost of security, custodial care, supervision, etc. Be sure to check with the administrator listed below. An event that already exists at Highline may not be used as a project since it does not meet the “new and challenging learning” and “independently conceived and managed” requirement. Events may not involve classes, clubs, or ASB events as the CP must be an “independently conceived and managed piece of work.”
FACILITIES If you would like to use Highline High facilities for your project (gym, cafeteria, grounds), you must fill out the BUILDING USE FORM (on the back) and obtain all required signatures.
DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 29 – this is a firm deadline. You may not request Highline facilities after this date and will need to locate your project elsewhere.
Be aware: (1) Facilities may not be available.
(2) School programs such as sports and building or district events have priority and may require you to move your date or location.
