EVIDENCE: PASSAGE PRESENTATIONS
All students at Harborside complete Passage presentations in 8th, 10th, and 12th grade. During Passages, students present how they have grown both academically and in terms of character. In the Passage presentations below, Harborside students reflect upon the experiences and people that have shaped their lives and impacted the development of their character both in and out of school. Each student also describes the positive contributions they have made to their school and community, including evidence of how they demonstrate each of Harborside's Habits of Success.
​
The passage videos below are excellent examples how both the reflection of character develops over time and how students demonstrate their character through their contributions to the community.

SOPHOMORE PASSAGE PRESENTATIONS
Like 8th grade passage presentations, sophomore passage presentations are also a chance for students to reflect on who they are and how they would describe their character using the Three Dimensions of Student Achievement. This shows a deeper understanding of themselves and their growth from 8th grade. In their sophomore passage presentations, Ethan M. and John A. each demonstrate this level of self-understanding and reflection through video.

SENIOR PASSAGE PRESENTATIONS
During senior passage presentations, students reflect on who they are as they make the transition to post-secondary life. In addition, there is a shift in their reflection to action. Students share about their contributions to school and the community and the impact that has had on them and those they helped. In their senior passage presentations, Victoria W. and Madison O. each demonstrate their self-reflections and commitment to service.
