Senior Board Speeches
-
As a graduation requirement, all seniors at Helix must participate in the senior presentation. One of the many things that sets Helix apart from other schools, our senior presentation project is a great preparatory exercise before going out into the real world. Each student must create a resume and cover letter, along with a presentation for their speech, which focuses on their growth in our Schoolwide Learner Outcomes. They need to use evidence from their academic learning as well as community service and extracurricular activities to demonstrate their growth in the Learner Outcomes they choose. Students present to a panel of community and staff. This Helix tradition has proven to be extremely helpful for our students and we are proud to offer it.
