Student Passions Drive May Term

From recoloring archival photos using AI to comparing literature, seniors capped their final year at Parker with exciting and informative projects during May Term. The class of 2025 spent the last two weeks of the semester diving deep into passion projects connected to civic resonance and Parker’s mission.

May Term is a unique opportunity for seniors to explore their interests while applying what they have learned during their time at Parker. Projects included research, practical application, a connection to civics and gratitude and reflection.

“May Term aims to give students the precious experience of creating, developing and succeeding in a meaningful project of their own design,” Visual Arts and Graphic Design teacher Travis Chandler previously explained. “This enables students to experience agency through goal-setting, revision, documentation, perseverance and learning and develop greater awareness of how they hope to impact the world and what they hope to pursue in life—professionally or otherwise.”

Students could work in groups or individually, and the range of topics demonstrated the uniqueness of the class itself.

May Term is a culmination of the Parker experience and an excellent way for seniors to show the skills they have learned before going off on their next adventures in life.

Congratulations, seniors!
