2020 Capstone Projects

We are very proud of our three Business Academy seniors who completed their capstone projects. In light of recent circumstances, they were unable to present their projects to the community on Capstone Night. Instead, they have each developed ways to share their Business Academy experience with you online. Please enjoy exploring the unique business projects developed by our Business Academy seniors:
