Senior Thesis Presentations 2026

In Senior Thesis, students write and defend a dissertation as their final graduation requirement. While the project demands rigor and sustained effort throughout senior year, the defining mark of this course is a celebration of what our students have accomplished in their academic careers.

This year, each student profile includes a short video reflection, offering a glimpse into the student’s Wilson Hill experience. As a school community, we congratulate our 2025-26 seniors and look forward to supporting them during their presentations.
