Overview
The Senior Capstone is the culminating component of the TSAS HOUSES curriculum and graduation plan.
It is designed to be a bridge between each student’s high school learning and their plans after high school: college, vocational or applied training, work, or other real-world endeavors.
The Capstone will be unique to each senior and carefully designed to be meaningful and relevant. Each senior works with a faculty Capstone Advisor to support their progress and success.
