"We took pride in the fact that we were the best high school, but
we still had only 74% of our freshmen going to 10th grade...Every
teacher in the first year that touched 9th graders had to teach
Career Choices because we wanted to see how it would work.
Unbelievably, the kids bloomed...It was just amazing.
At the end of the year, 96% of our students
went from 9th grade to 10th. ~ Pamela Pritchard, Assistant Principal |
