Senior Project                                                                                       Internships 2008

The culmination of a Rocky Hill School student's experience, the Senior Project, is an independent

off-campus internship. At the beginning of the selection process, each twelfth grader contacts professionals in areas of interest and arranges with one of them a one-month internship commitment. The final choice may reflect possible career choices, a commitment to community service, or a unique one-time opportunity. A primary requirement is that students pursue a passion and demonstrate an educational stretch. Once an internship has been secured, students are responsible for managing all

of the details of the schedule, setting objectives, initiating all communications necessary to ensure the success of the internship, and preparing a final presentation of the results of their internship. Students also complete a substantial research project on a topic related to their project. The student's adviser and the Senior Project Coordinators play an important role in supporting the student throughout this process.
