    How two students used our schools Purpose Program, a three-week experiential

    sequence that empowers students to take meaningful and active roles in their learning
    and for their communities, over four years: 9th-Design Thinking, 10th-Serving Locally,
    11th-Classroom and Community, 12th -Capstone.

    Byron Armstrong

    9th Our team created an app to solve the problem of students keeping track of
    their schedules. This personalized schedule app synced class, extracurricular, and
    personal schedules with our internal school calendar. The design process taught me
    to work collaboratively while making the lives of our fellow students easier.
    10th - On a team of sophomores, I worked with a local nonprofit organization using
    the BUILD (Believe-Understand-Invent-Listen-Deliver) model to engage their
    clients of elderly citizens.
    11th - During my junior year, I experienced day-long visits to district and state
    officials. Developed with my advisor, each visit demanded rigorous research and
    preparation which fostered a connection between my classroom experiences and
    the world beyond.
    12th Combining my previous Purpose Program projects, I created an app (9th)
    that easily linked citizens with civic needs (10th) with the appropriate local political
    official or organization (11th) that could fulfill that need. The app streamlines the
    process of citizens needs/requests reaching the individuals or groups who can best
    meet their civic needs/requests.

    Lillie Burke

    9th: I worked with a group to develop a Valentines gift exchange that connected all
    members of our school (staff, administration, teachers, and students). To alleviate
    feelings of exclusion, pressures around dating, and isolation of some staff members,
    this gift exchange brought our community together.
    10th: I developed a tutoring program for students to gain conversational fluency in
    languages not offered by our school from staff. Staff became teachers, and
    students could now learn languages rarely taught like Tagalog (Philippines) and
    Fulfulde (Cameroon).
    11th: I interviewed first generation immigrants as a supplement to my studies of
    American History. Working with my history teacher, I used an interdisciplinary
    approach to research recent immigrant experiences within the context of Americas
    immigration history.
    12th: I decided to support underclassmen in their 9th grade design thinking
    challenges which provided me an opportunity to mentor younger students and
    provided practice of hands-on leadership.
