Important things to Remember

Meg Gutowsky is the coordinator. Her email is mgutowsk@houstonisd.org

Her off periods are 1st and 7th and she will be available in library or N109.

You can always seek guidance from the CAS coordinator regarding the
appropriateness of a project; however, use your imagination - think outside the
box.

• Your CAS experience should be meaningful to you.
• Fill out and submit your proposal forms asking any questions you might have well
before you actually begin a new project.
• Make sure you have read "What is not CAS" so that you do not have hours
denied. If in doubt, ask.
• The CAS coordinator is always available to discuss any questions you may have
about the program. Please feel free to stop by N206 before school, after school or
during 3'" or 8th periods. During holidays, you may email the CAS coordinator at:
bfgriffith@yahoo.com.
• You are responsible for completing the program over an 18 month period. You
must clearly document your participation from the summer following your
sophomore year through the fall semester of your senior year.
• You must have a proposal, reflection, support documentation, hour log and
supervisor's report on file for every project you complete as part of the CAS
program.
• Support documentation may include pictures, game rosters, certificates, ribbons,
etc. and should be copied onto 8 Y:z x 11 paper. Do not include any originals
unless you do not wish to keep them. No support documentation will be returned
to the student.
• You must participate in at least one activity of significant duration.
• You must participate in at least one activity that covers two or more of the CAS
components.
• You must participate in at least one activity that clearly demonstrates an
international focus. This may be completed from within the USA or done abroad
