Authorization/Release for Participation/Faculty Advisor Selection form is due
and must be returned to any of the following teachers: Dr. Itzko, Mr. McCormick,

each school day late this form is late, one (1) point will be deducted from the
student's final grade.
In
the Selection Phase, the student selects a Faculty Advisor, develops the Senior
Project goals and proposal, and contacts potential sponsors in the area of
interest. After finding a suitable
sponsor, the student and sponsor create a suitable working environment for the
Project, which includes the duties and responsibilities that the student will
perform during the Project. In
creating a working environment for the student, it is key for the sponsor to
include activities that provide the student with a meaningful insight into
his/her chosen area. At this time,
the student will share with the sponsor the goals, which he/she has developed
for the Project.

Senior Project Proposal/Sponsor Agreement form is submitted to the Faculty
Advisor for approval by the Senior Project Advisory Committee.
