Dear Mentor:
On behalf of Northgate High School we would like to thank you for agreeing to be a mentor for a Senior
Project. This project is a graduation requirement consisting of three parts: a research paper, an
experiential project, and a presentation before a panel of judges.
Mentors are most important in helping students produce a project that applies the knowledge gained
during the paper-writing phase. The project challenges them to go beyond the experiences they have
had in the past, and to connect their efforts to the community. While not all mentored projects are
directly tangible, students must produce actual documentation to verify their 15 hours. Shadowing alone
is insufficient.
‘As a mentor, we ask that you do the following:
1. Review the Letter of Intent that your stuclent will provide to describe his or her Senior Project.
2. Read, evaluate, and comment on a draft of their Research Paper.
3. Help your student define his or her mentored project clearly and decide at what point it will be
considered complete.
4, Be certain that the mentored project challenges the student.
5. Meet with your student several times to monitor the student's work and to provide help and
advice to make the project a success.
6 Guide the project, read and critique the paper, and verify at least 15 hours have been spent on
the project.
Please keep a copy of this letter for yourself and return the other with the student. Your efforts are
greatly appreciated by both the student and the Northgate staff. Our Senior Project program would be
impossible without the help of mentors like you. If you have any questions, feel free to call the school at
the number above.
Sincerely,
Northgate High School English Department
