Note to visitors: The information presented is for Zillah School District students and their families to help them to complete the state mandated Senior Culminating Project for graduation.  PEARLS has been in development since 1992.   The Zillah School District has spent considerable time and resources in development and implementation of PEARLS.  We feel it is a solid project that has proven its benefits over the years.  Many other districts have patterned parts of their culminating projects after PEARLS.  All we ask is that if you choose to use parts of our project, please contact the Superintendent (509.829.5911) for permission to copy and use materials and to please give notation of a credit to the Zillah School District.
