Academic Programs
Senior Defense
LAHSA’s Senior Defense is about showcasing resiliency, flexibility, and confidence. In short, it is about our students, their struggles and their successes that they have experienced in high school, and their hopes for the future. The Senior Defense process provides multiple opportunities to reflect on your personal and academic growth and performance throughout these four years of high school.
In this project, students reflect on the ESSENTIAL QUESTION:
HOW HAS YOUR HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE SHAPED YOU AND PREPARED YOU FOR THE FUTURE?
Through this process, Seniors practice some of the most important skills that they need to be successful in an ever-changing world, including:
-
Professional presentation and communication
-
Self-reflection
-
Self-directed learning
-
Using technology to create and communicate with multimedia
-
Using evidence and reasoning
