Seniors present capstone on student ambassador program, district to award graduation cords
Summary
Two seniors presented their capstone on the student ambassador program, explaining how they coordinate guest speakers for career exploration; district staff said students who complete a capstone or pathway proficiency will earn cords or stoles at graduation.
Two Rock Ridge seniors presented their capstone project to the board, outlining the student ambassador program that pairs guest speakers with career-exploration classes.
Samantha Bardovich and Emma Lintila described how they prepare speaker-introduction slides, manage day-of logistics, coordinate schedules and monitor transitions. They surveyed guest presenters and reported strong positive feedback: presenters praised students’ clarity and helpfulness and recommended smoother transitions between classes. The students said 62 seniors already qualified for distinctions this year and that completing a capstone would earn graduates a cream cord at commencement; pathway proficiency and combined distinctions yield other colored cords and stoles.
The board and staff praised the students’ public-speaking skills and the program’s value for building community connections and career awareness. The capstone demonstration has been aligned with how some colleges showcase student work, and administrators said the district will recognize qualifying students at graduation.
What happens next: Qualified students will receive cords or stoles at graduation; the district will continue the ambassador program and gather presenter feedback for process improvements.
