On Thursday, May 6 the class of 2025 presented their Eighth Grade Independent Study (EGIS) projects to family, friends and faculty. For two decades, an eighth graders time in middle school has been capped by an unforgettable EGIS program. Our eighth graders have been working all year to deepen their knowledge of a subject of interest that falls outside their school curriculum.

Thanks to the stage already in place for the school play, “Everybody,” eighth grade students and families gathered to witness each student briefly talk about their project and thank their advisor and mentor. The presentations were also shown virtually on Zoom for those unable to attend in-person. Students confidently shared the wide variety of experiences they explored, including aerial flight, learning how to cook, designing and creating a mural and venturing into interior design. After the students spoke on stage, they talked to guests with display boards showing their impressive work. 

The Eighth Grade team that planned, curated and executed EGIS include: Eighth grade dean Erin Timmer, English teacher Sunshine O’Donnell, Math teacher Lota Anderson, Science teacher Mike McGlinn and Physical Education/Health teacher Jon Wessel.
