Capstone

For students in the graduating class of 2021 and beyond, all students must demonstrate college and career readiness in both Mathematics and English by meeting or exceeding the required level of readiness. STEM students who have not met the standardized assessment criteria for Math and/or English by the end of their Junior year must complete a capstone demonstrating proficiency.

Students who have not met the standardized assessment criteria by the end of their Junior year must enroll in English 12 and/or Financial Literacy classes. During the Fall semester, students will complete a capstone that is aligned to the “Handbook: DCSD’s Capstone Project” document. Students will present their work to be evaluated by a panel of administrators, teachers and stakeholders. Any student who is needing to make revisions must complete and re-submit their capstone before April of their graduating year.
