The mission of the Lightridge Senior Summit is to provide LHS graduates with a meaningful experience, self-fulfillment, and opportunities for post-secondary success through civic engagement and career exploration.

On April 11 OR 12  and from May 28 to June 5, 2024, qualifying seniors are excused from classes to pursue a community service project or career development opportunity. Students must complete 40 hours at their host site over the seven-day Senior Summit experience. 

Community service projects can range from hands-on experience to administrative work.  Career development opportunities can range from internships to job shadowing. Students have discretion in choosing their project as long as it provides an authentic experience.

How do I document my Summit time? In your packet, you will be given a schedule form that needs to be completed and signed by your Community Sponsor. This will state the hours you will be on-site and completed from May 28th - June 5th. This must be completed, signed, and turned in to your Advisory teacher by April 26th.

What if I miss days of the Senior Summit? Students must attend the scheduled hours. Any unscheduled leave will result in your removal from the Senior Summit and require you to return to Lightridge HS to resume your regular school schedule.

How are grades being handled? To participate, ALL assigned schoolwork must be completed and submitted to course teachers before the beginning of the Summit. Overall grade in each class must be above 70% (C-)

If my teacher says that I have to take an assessment/complete an assignment, do I need to be there? Students are excused from work from May 28th - June 5th, BUT there may be a course that you will still need to complete or submit a required summative assessment/ assignment to receive course credit. This must be discussed with your teacher before May 1st.

What goes in the Activity Log? You should document what you do each day while at your Senior Summit experience. This is for your benefit so that you have something you can refer to while making your presentation for the celebration

Do I need to dress professionally? You should dress for the profession that you are shadowing during the Summit experience.  Discuss with your Summit Sponsor what the appropriate dress attire should be.

When is the Summit Celebration? The culmination of the Senior Summit will take place (during the school day) on June 6th. At this time, we will showcase your work and accomplishments during the Senior Summit. Each participant will create a presentation that gives an overview of their Senior Summit experience that will be presented to the Celebration attendees.
