Recent graduates

We graduated five students in 2010 -- an Explorations Academy record!  Moreover, each of those five studied at Explorations through their entire high school career.  A diverse and talented bunch, these five  individuals each explored a curriculum of their own design during their final term at Explorations.  Now they have moved off to pursue their post-high school plans.  Here are a few snippets of their final term work at Explorations and where they are currently.
