The senior project, or as ODE calls it the extended application, is designed to allow students to work on a project outside of school with an adult mentor. This can be a variety of things such as a volunteer project, work-based learning, Research project, etc. This project must be documented and at least 40 hours of time should be spent on the project.
Students should fill out the proposal form and get it approved by their advisor by the end of their junior year.

Career-Related Learning Experiences (CRLEs)
Students will complete a minimum of 4 career related learning experiences while they are in school. These will be built into school experiences such as job shadows, field trips, guest speakers, etc. Students will fill out the attached form when they complete a CRLE. Form below:
The Education Plan and Profile is a document that serves as a road map to guide student learning throughout their secondary education and into their lives after high school. It also serves as a living, growing collection of a student's achievements and interests. This document should stay with the student through any school transfers, and should be updated at least yearly.
Students will complete this using the Oregon CIS portal. Staff will get more information on this shortly.
