Critical Thinking

Students will actively research, analyze, and synthesize diverse information from multiple perspectives to solve real-world problems, make informed, ethical decisions, and construct well-supported conclusions.

Leadership

Collaboration

Students will proactively work with diverse peers and staff, leveraging unique strengths and ideas to achieve shared goals, solve problems, provide constructive feedback, and navigate disagreements while appreciating different perspectives to contribute meaningfully to team dynamics and outcomes.

Communication

Students will accurately express their ideas and genuinely understanding of others through active listening, speaking, writing, and technology, refining these skills across various formats and contexts to professionally exchange information, build on diverse perspectives, and contribute to a positive community.

Pride Time

What is Pride Time? Pride Time is a dedicated block of time, from 2:24 to 3:20 p.m. on Silver Days, for students to visit with teachers or mentors for academic support – ask questions, work on a project or make up missed work.

How It Works

Teacher & Student Requests: Both teachers and students can request “Pride Time”. This requested time shows up directly on the student’s schedule.
Open to Everyone: Any student can visit a teacher for help during this time, it does not need to be scheduled.
Required Attendance: Students with a D or F in any class are required to see their teacher for support. Teachers will schedule the required Pride Time, in the event of a D or F. This is not a punishment—it is an opportunity to get targeted help, master the material, and raise grades.
Peer Support: Students can also visit the Rebel Room, where peer mentors and a certified teacher are available for extra help.
Important Note: Pride Time is part of the regular school schedule. Students must not schedule outside jobs or personal appointments during this time.
Students not requested for Pride Time are encouraged to use the time to start homework or work on other academic related activities.
