Seniors Pursue Their Passions

Seniors capped their final year at Parker with exciting and informative projects during May Term. The class spent the last two weeks of the semester diving deep into passion projects filled with civic resonance and aligned with 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 incorporated 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 Department Chair Travis Chandler shared. “This enables students to experience agency through goal-setting, revision, documentation, perseverance and learning and develop greater awareness of how they wish to impact the world and what they hope to pursue in life—professionally or otherwise.”

Students worked in groups or individually, and the range of topics demonstrated the uniqueness of the class itself. May Term is a culminating experience and an excellent way for seniors to show the skills they have learned before heading on their next adventures in life.

Congratulations, seniors!
