The key components of the Capstone project include a reflection on LHSU experiences, research about their career field, and a solution to a problem that they noticed in their Internships. The 9 seniors who graduated in May 2019 with LHSU honors were Sierra Wakkure, Sarah Carlson, Katie Brandon, Bailey Riggs, Zach Stubblefield, Ryleigh Tucker, Kenzie Darst, Maddie Stephens, and Zephanie White.
