Summerlin Academy Capstone Project

Each Summerlin Cadet is required to complete a Capstone Project. Summerlin Academy’s Capstone Project aims to provide Cadets with an opportunity to solve real world problems, participate in project-based learning, enhance his or her skills in research methodologies, while promoting public speaking, and prepare each cadet in college and career readiness.

With the support of the Summerlin Academic Teachers, JROTC Instructional Staff, and external stakeholders, each Cadet will embark on a 9th-12th grade, multi-step process, culminating in their Senior year presentation of his or her Capstone Project. The Capstone is separated into four major components to ensure each Cadet’s experiences are wide ranging.  By the Cadet’s senior year, he or she will have completed a comprehensive portfolio, a finished product, an APA style research paper, and a professional presentation.
