To complement our emphasis on achievement, college/career readiness, and character, the PGHS / BIS Capstone project provides students with an opportunity for career exploration, hands-on field experience, community service, and independent living skills to prepare them to compete and succeed in life and work after high school. Throughout the process students reflect on their learning, build a portfolio and finally orally present a summary of their Capstone experience before a panel. Students are responsible to personally complete all aspects of the Capstone. However, we do offer classes covering the six parts of Capstone to assist students through the program.
Students - How to Organize Your Capstone Documents
Once you are ready to being your Capstone course, the first step will be to create a folder in your school google drive titled "Capstone". This is where you should keep all of your Capstone documents so they are organized in a central location.
As you click on the google doc links throughout this website, you will notice that you only have viewing privileges of the documents. To make a copy that you can edit go to "File" and then "Make a Copy". You can then select the location in your google drive (your "Capstone" folder) where you want to save your file(s).

Click below for the Capstone Checklist
The checklist is designed to keep you on track of the various assignments within Capstone course. As with all of the work you do at our school, you must earn a 70% or higher in each assignment for credit. If work is submitted below the 70% mark, you will receive feedback on what you can do to improve the quality of the work, and you will then be able to make any changes needed and resubmit.
