And that’s a wrap.

From Monday, May14, through Thursday, May 17, seniors have been giving speeches on a wide range of important issues, spanning all the way from genetic engineering, to colonizing Mars, to the nursing shortage.

These speeches are an opportunity for the seniors that will soon be leaving Cotter to share important issues that they care about with their classmates, and also show all that they had learned in their final “Capstone” project.

The project was part of the requirement for English, religion, and economics classes. and was team taught by Mrs. Corcoran, Mr. Costello, Mr. Howard, and Mr. McGlaun.
