Mission Statement
The mission of the Evansville Community School District’s senior project graduation requirement is for students to develop personal growth through an experiential and/or service learning opportunity. This culminating self-selected project will serve as the capstone demonstrating students’ ability to seek knowledge through inquiry and experience, which in turn will allow them the opportunity to apply their knowledge and growth in all of their future endeavors, benefitting our local and global communities.
Philosophy
The Evansville Community School District, in active partnership with families and the community, will provide a positive learning environment that challenges all students to achieve personal excellence and become contributing citizens of the world community.
We believe this project will allow our graduates to maximize their personal excellence and contributions to the world community.

Project Types
Students will have the opportunity to choose the type of work that they would like to complete in order to meet criteria for their Senior Project. The project choices have been divided into two categories. The first type of project is a service-based or community service project. The second type of project is an experiential or project-based task. The differences between the two types of project learning paths are outlined below.
Service-Based / Community Service Projects
These types of projects are centered on serving others in the community. In order to complete a service project, students must use their time, talent, and ability to better the world around them—either locally, or globally. The project must have a meaningful impact on others.

Experiential Learning Projects
Projects that fall into this category are centered on a project or experience that the student would like to undertake. The student must be able to demonstrate meaningful growth over time through the completion of their chosen project. Additionally, the student must demonstrate self-improvement as a result of completing the project.
