The Junior Review is a pivotal moment for Fenway High School’s 11th graders. It’s a chance for them to showcase their academic growth and skills developed through project-based learning (PBL) competencies. This review functions as a culminating assessment where students present their work to a panel of teachers, counselors, family members, and even the broader school community. More than just a presentation, the Junior Review is a chance for students to reflect on their entire high school experience thus far. They delve into the past three years, highlighting their academic journey and the skills they’ve honed. This self-reflection is then complemented by looking forward, as students share their aspirations and plans for the future.
