Ultimately, the project sought talent and creativity within the entire student body, encouraging artists, musicians, designers, and storytellers to join and contribute to this collective effort.

The graduation game project at SHSID will serve as the collective culmination for senior students, and a place that solidifies their precious memories. As the project takes shape, it promises to preserve a lasting graduation memory and serves as a reminder of the unity of heart and collaboration between all students in the grade.
