Senior Independent Program (SIP)

The Senior Independent Program (SIP) is offered to qualified and interested members of the senior class. SIP is a student-directed, full-year program offered by application only. Students in this program earn one high school credit, attending SIP every day. Current seniors enrolled in this course underwent an application process that included student proposals for individual projects, teacher recommendations and student interviews. SIP participants will complete an individual project based on individual student interest.

2022-2023 SIP Projects

  • Fatimah Alawami '23

    Fatimah Alawami wrote and published Latinidad, a series of magazines that focuses on dances in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Her motive for making this magazine is to bring awareness and appreciation to an essential aspect of Latinx culture, dance.

  • Allie Conover '23

    Allie wrote and directed her own play called “Interference.” The original horror/comedy took place on Halloween in 1988. Morgan Blade had to take over WOLF Radio’s annual Spooky Story Call-In, and as the evening progressed, Morgan began to question his current life, as well as experience some supernatural occurrences. The show was performed for a huge audience on April 27, 2023.

  • Casandra Sullivan '23

    Casandra created four stuffed animals (a cat, a bunny, a bear, and a sloth) out of sustainable recycled materials to give to an organization centered around women and families. She had been learning how to use a sewing machine, the lingo used in sewing instructions/manuals, and basically- how to be Build-A-Bear. Her Senior Independent Project was inspired by my love for Build-A-Bear as a child and my deep connection to stuffed animals that was brought upon by my grandma. Even now, at nearly eighteen-years-old, she loved her stuffed animals and discovered a newfound joy when it came to creating them. She hoped her project can light up the eyes of sweet kids and they can keep these handmade stuffed animals forever.
