Capstone Project

-
After their time in the building blocks of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program, students continue to learn and live their faith throughout their time in our Catholic Schools. For our high school students, their academic careers culminate with their Senior Capstone Project. The Capstone Project is a graduation requirement that began during the 2015-16 school year. It originated to assist our students in being better prepared to defend their faith.
The Capstone Project requires a student to research a particular topic of interest to them surrounding faith, write a paper and present their findings to a panel of judges at their respective school. Each school’s top finalist move on to present to a panel of judges at the Diocesan level and compete for a St. Thomas Aquinas Scholarship ranging in value from $500 - $5,000.
