Andover’s MVHS ’13 students showed off their Senior Projects at MVHS on March 20. Senior Project represents the culmination of a student’s work at MVHS, and each senior is required to pick a topic that will challenge them and make them stretch.
Completing a senior project is a graduation requirement, and doing so is no walk in the park. Besides the product itself, the student must write a paper, create a presentation, and prepare a portfolio.
Here are this year’s senior projects:
Jason James Ashburn: “How will learning foreign languages make me a better person?”
Charles Andrew Barry: “Is diesel fuel a more efficient alternative to gas?”
Cody Jeffrey Barton: “How can I build a running derby car in the most cost effective way?”
Ethan Phillip Barton: “How do arborists not only care for individual trees but also whole habitats?”
Timothy David Bates: “How has fiberglass changed boating?”
Stephanie Ann Croteau: “How can I, in New Hampshire, show appreciation for our troops overseas?”
Jenna Nicole Davis: “How do SPCAs/Humane Societies help animals in their community as well as the prevention of cruelty to animals?”
Cameron Robert Doucet: “How will remodeling my room provide me with the skills I need to eventually maintain a home in the future?”

Dylan Carleton Howe: “Why should one choose sobriety over using drugs and alcohol?”

Senior Project Roadshow
All the Andover seniors have been invited to bring their Senior Project presentations to AE/MS for public display on Friday, April 19, at 8:30 AM. It’s a chance for all the community to see their work, and for AE/MS eighth graders to get a look at what will be expected of them four years from now.
