Students Quizzed by Panel to Graduate?

You’re a high school senior getting ready to graduate.  Can you imagine facing a panel of businesspeople, college professors & community members to present a capstone presentation and to be quizzed onStu issues such as the root of crime and how you know when you’re a success?
