Community members are invited to participate as judges for upcoming Senior Defenses and Senior Boards. All Helix seniors must complete the Senior Project, which entails creating a product, coordinating an event, planning a performance, or providing an actual service that has been designed by them. The final phases of the Senior Project are the Senior Defenses and Senior Boards, which provide an opportunity for our students to shine and to feel a sense of accomplishment as they demonstrate their knowledge and skills to their community.<\/p>\n
Senior Defenses will take place on April 5, 6, and 7 from noon-3:30 p.m., and Senior Boards will take place on Tuesday, May 23, and Wednesday, May 24, from noon-4 p.m. Community members are welcome to participate in any or all dates.
