Senior Exit Interviews

Tumwater High School

Procedures

The Tumwater School District Senior Culminating Project has multiple components. The final component is an Exit Interview using a presentation and interview format. The interview will last no more than 20 minutes and is divided into two parts. The first section consists of an introduction by the student, followed by a question and answer period by a panel of three adults (staff member, community member, and advocate of student’s choice). Please refer to the documents below for detailed information and instructions. Be sure to prepare ahead of time to have a stress-free presentation. If you have any questions, reach out to your Advisory Teacher for help.
