PLHS Students:

Senior Exhibition is a requirement of graduation from San Diego City Schools. At PLHS you complete a portfolio and create an oral presentation with a visual enhancement. The links and information below will give you information about the requirements for the portfolio and presentation. Check back here often to see changes, updates, deadlines, helps, etc.

Highlighted requirements that you should begin working on during freshman year are Community Service and Best Works. Current students (c/o 10, 09, 08) have incrementally more hours required of community service (check the community service link for specific information). The c/o 11 and beyond will have the same hours required. Best Works are classroom projects, reports, and/or assignments that highlight specific accomplishments or mastery of ESLRs skills or academic skills. Each year you should save a “Best Work” from each class so that by the time you are a senior and have to select pieces for your portfolio you have items to choose from.

As a junior you will have the opportunity to be a panelist for the Senior Exhibitions this will give you a jumpstart to your Senior Exhibition and help you to identify what a presentation and portfolio should look like. Take advantage of this opportunity. Many seniors reflect that it eased their minds, helped them create presentations/portfolios they were proud of, and took the “fear” away. Seniors each year reflect that they also wish they had begun planning for senior year beginning as freshmen. Take their reflection seriously they speak from experience!

Check out the links below and start preparing now for a very valuable Business World Experience! You’ll be glad you did!
