What's Happening?
This is my senior project for Principia, but more so, a journey to find out more about what I am passionate about, and finding out what life is like. Over the course of this project, I hope to learn applicable skills in the field of technical theatre and event production, intern under Dwight Oyer, and create a resume and send it out to others. Hopefully, I'll even land myself a job over the course of this project.




I'm Zachery Proctor, A high school student at the Principia, I have a lot of interests, including running, kayaking, and theatre. I've found myself particularly interested in technical theatre, and thanks to Mr. Oyer and Mrs. Robbins, I've had opportunities to gain experience related to technical theater, event production, and even broadcasting. As a part of this project I want to be an example of how you can find your own way, and address the issues of uncertainty and a lack of self-reliance that many people, including myself, can feel just coming out of high school. I hope for this project to be an extension of my passions and also an opportunity for me to take my talents and learning out of the Principia community and into the world.
Many people coming out of high school feel stuck and without opportunities of their own creation. The broad push for college attendance does reflect the value of higher education, but it leaves many feeling that they only have one option. I also find myself in this situation coming out of high school and having my post-high school life loom ahead of me. I am looking to use this senior project as an opportunity to explore what I can do, and create an example for others to look to for inspiration in finding their own way.
