Seniors at Days Creek Charter School are required to complete a senior project to graduate.
The 14 graduating seniors in the Class of 2025 have all submitted their projects and accompanying essays.
Most seniors performed job shadows with professionals in desired fields of study. Others completed projects that met certain criteria in the Senior Portfolio class taught by Anna Rickards.
Travis Doolittle had an ongoing project where he led a Dungeons & Dragons board game activity during DiscoverU. For multiple months, Doolittle taught the complicated game to fellow students.
“It was a little difficult to set up at the beginning, but once we developed characters and they learned more about it, it became easier,” Doolittle said. “You learn a lot about a game by teaching it.”
