The Graduation Project or Senior Project is a vital part of earning a High School Diploma in the state of Pennsylvania. Students will complete this project through this course by developing a portfolio of work that includes college and career readiness activities, community service, and a demonstration of the connection between learning experiences and the expectations of future careers and life after high school. Students will also be required to take the national AP English Literature exam given in May to qualify for college credit."
