Casa Capstone

The Casa Capstone is a special opportunity for Seniors to make a substantial contribution to the welfare of the larger community. They formally present the nature, benefits, and challenges of the project to a panel of community members as a culminating experience. It challenges students in unexpected ways and reveals their unique abilities. It encourages students to make connections between their role in the community and our school-wide graduate profile with four pillars:

Upon Graduation, ALL Casa Grande students will be:

1. Broadly Literate,
2. Civically Engaged,
3. Highly Employable, and
4. Have a Personal Vision for the Future

The Casa Capstone provides valuable real world experiences for students that inspire a strong sense of citizenship and the satisfaction of a meaningful accomplishment. The Casa Capstone challenges students to both contribute meaningful community service and compose a reflection about their educational journey at Casa Grande High School.
