Capturing seniors’ stories as they embark on their final year of public school supports the value of public education. These stories leave a meaningful legacy that celebrates the collective journey of each senior within the context of public education.

Image Suggestion

Take a picture of a senior or a group of seniors who have been interviewed or prompted to answer the following questions. If they have pictures of first days over the years, those would be a great addition!

Text Suggestion

  • How do you plan to make the most of your remaining time in school?

  • Are there any traditions or routines you’ve developed over the years for the first day of school? Did you or your parents do anything special to celebrate the day?

  • What advice would you give to freshmen who are just starting their journey here?

  • Looking back on your years in public school, what are some key lessons or experiences that you feel have shaped you the most as you approach graduation?
