For all seniors, the last day of school is May 30, meaning school does not end when capstone ends. The grading period for seniors ends May 26. Capstone begins for seniors on May 15, ending on Thursday, May 25 with a Capstone Expo from 5-6:30 P.M. in the Main Gym. For the Expo, students will present their Capstone projects in a gallery-walk style with a tri-fold poster. This event is mandatory for all Capstone participants.
