Thursday, May 22 marked the tenth year of the 8th grade Capstone Showcase. Working in teams, students selected a topic aligned with a “grand challenge." Through critical inquiry and guided exploration, they examined the causes and consequences of these complex issues and developed actionable solutions designed to make a real-world impact. They presented their research projects to student and staff judges through display boards or digital presentations. The Capstone Showcase is a powerful reminder that the next generation is already thinking boldly, working together, and striving to build a better future. Congratulations, eighth-graders! 👏 (fb)
