Senior Information

Senior year at Landmark School is very special. Students work hard, partner with the many faculty and staff on campus to make decisions about their next step, and celebrate accomplishments they may never have thought were possible.

Senior year can also be overwhelming. Let us guide you through the year.

Senior Events

In the fall, the senior class elects representatives who meet monthly to plan a series of senior events scheduled throughout the year. If you have any questions please contact one of the Senior Class Advisors, Carissa Neal or Derrick Neal.

Click the accordion below to learn more about each event.

Get togethers

Throughout the year the Senior Council hosts a variety of events that give seniors the opportunity to spend time together as a class. These events change each year. Here's a sampling of past events:

  • Senior Sunset
  • Senior Sunrise
  • Car washes
  • BBQs
  • Bonfires
  • Holiday dinners
  • Donut Wednesday
  • Senior auction

Seniors will be notified of events throughout the year and are encouraged to participate in as many events as possible. Most of these events are free.

Senior Trip

There are two payment options for the senior trip.

Important Notes About Senior Trip

It is important to note that the senior trip is a time for members of the senior class to demonstrate their independence and healthy decision-making. Students will be in contact with chaperones at all times via cell phone; however, they are given liberal freedom to be in the Disney Parks and the hotel. Regular attendance is taken via photo texts during the entire time we are in theme parks. Chaperones are always available to the students; however, they are not physically with chaperones at all times.

If your student takes medication they will receive their medication from the health center before the trip and will be responsible for taking them independently. There will be more information and forms coming as the trip gets closer.

If you feel your senior needs direct supervision, this is not the best opportunity for them. All Landmark School policies are in effect throughout this school-sponsored event. Should a violation occur, the student may be sent home at the parental/guardian’s expense. 
 

Not Included

Trip insurance is NOT included with the cost of the trip. You may purchase this through Allianz Travel, a third-party service. Please take the time to read the fine print.

Food is also NOT included on the trip other than the group dinner on Friday Night before the show.
Prom

For many, prom is the most memorable night of senior year. Each senior is allowed two tickets—one for themselves and one for a guest. This event will be hosted by the senior council.

Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2025
All students must be in school for the half day of classes on the day of the prom.

More information coming soon.
