I, ______________________________________, have read and understand the above requirements involving the North Carolina Graduation Project. I agree to abide by the requirements. I will conduct myself with the utmost professionalism in working with school and community leaders. I understand that it is might be necessary for me to work with my mentor outside of regular school hours. I realize that my success will depend on my ability to work between school and community resources. I understand that if any component (paper, product, portfolio, and presentation) of the NCGP is less than satisfactory I will not meet graduation requirements for Craven County Schools. Each component of the NCGP depends on the other three components; therefore, I understand in order to complete the entire NCGP requirement, I must successfully complete all components.
