Finding a Problem in the World and Solving It. This is the core of our Capstone Projects here at OLL High School.
We encourage our students to find and experience problem solving firsthand. Students at OLL will pick a problem they view on campus or in the world around them and work all year on a solution to that problem. They will analyze the factors in and around this issue, develop multiple scenarios, and settle on a proposal. This may include inventing a tool, forming an organization, or utilizing government or social avenues of progress. They then will present this in class for their final grade.
Katie, a senior here at OLL, has chosen beautification of the school and parish grounds. She has worked on several areas, but Mary was a favorite. This statue of Mary was newly placed by the playground earlier this year. Katie chose to upgrade the area around her for all to enjoy.
Per Katie, "I chose this because I truly just want to help my school and those with access to it within our community. By continually beatifying our grounds, those around us can continue to enjoy it each and every day."
We are proud to be able to provide these types of opportunities to our students. Learn more about OLLHS here: https://ollonline.org/ollhs
