PBGR – Proficiency Based Graduation Requirements

  • Exhibition:

    Exhibition is a component of the Proficiency Based Graduation Requirements (PBGR) established by the Rhode Island Department of Education.  It is specifically designed for every LHS student to demonstrate the necessary skills (Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, Self-Directed Learning) for future success as defined by the Vision of the Graduate (VOG).  During the Exhibition process, students create a Project Learning Goal centered around a student's personal interest or goal; they conduct research to create a plan of action to achieve their goal and to overcome any challenges they may face while implementing the plan; and,once the goal is achieved, they present their journey to a panel of judges in a formal presentation setting.  A semester course is offered to help students meet this graduation requirement.

    • All Exhibition documents and material can be found in the students' Google Classroom

    • Students taking Exhibition will be required to select and work with a mentor for 7 hours during the course of completing their projects. Mentors MUST receive and submit a criminal background check (BCI) before they can work with a student. Failing to complete this component will nullify any hours submitted for approval. Lincoln residents may receive a free BCI report from the Lincoln Police Department. For residents of Lincoln, please see our notice in regards to acquiring this locally. For further information on the RI law requiring BCI checks for volunteers/mentors, please click here to learn more about Rhode Island General Laws 16-2-18.4
