High School’s New Face

The landscape of education is shifting, and the traditional high school model may not meet the needs of today's students. With a graduation rate of 68% and only 40% attending college, the times demand a new approach. This discussion explores students' desires for engaging teaching methods, relevant curriculum, and personalized learning. The "High School’s New Face" initiative brings together 35 district teams to rethink instruction by emphasizing real-world connections, technology use, and differentiated instruction. Join us in redefining the high school experience.
