Another important component of the Linked Learning program is the Senior Portfolio Defense process. During the second semester of their senior year, students work with their teachers to create a portfolio of work from their 9-12th grade years. The portfolio provides an opportunity to reflect on their growth throughout high school. It also prepares them for the presentation part of the process. 

​

In the late Spring, students prepare a comprehensive presentation highlighting the skills that they have gained and how they are prepared for life after high school. This presentation is given to a panel of teachers where students can demonstrate their ability to reflect and analyze on their growth, as well as showcase their presentation skills. 

​

While this is an extensive process, students leave the presentations with a clear and deep understanding of how their time in high school has truly prepared them for college, career, and civics.
