Rustin High School’s Graduation Project

 

As mandated by Pennsylvania’s Department of Education, the West Chester Area School District has developed a framework for graduation requirements consistent with meeting local standards of performance and state guidelines.

Ms. Marypat Tang is providing leadership at Rustin High School for the Graduation Project.

The Graduation Project is intended to allow students to synthesize their accumulated knowledge to explore individual topics which reflect their personal interests, future goals, and levels of ability.  The Graduation Project should be based on knowledge gained from course work and relevant experiences. Students must demonstrate appropriate skills in these areas to complete the project:

●Writing

●Research

●Oral

●Technology

●Visual

A Graduation Project grade may be obtained through completion of:

1.  A required rigorous research project in a designated class.  All students enrolled in these courses will complete an eligible project as part of the regular curriculum.
2. An independent project supervised by a teacher related to the curriculum.
3. A community service project approved by the Graduation Project Coordinator.
4. Any qualifying project from  an 11^th or 12^th grade class at CAT Brandywine.

A project must be successfully completed in order to graduate.
