Summer School - Our focus with students, especially in high school is to address students who are credit deficient early as opposed to later in their school journey. Making sure that our students graduate on time and have all the access and opportunity to be successful in the world is of key and paramount importance. Each and every year of high school is increasingly complex and more rigorous than the last. Falling behind by as little as half a credit and have exponential impacts as the years accrue. A great fallacy that exists, is that if a student is merely a half (0.5) credit behind they can easily make that up later and isn't to be worried about. I disagree completely. No student should be credit deficient at any point in their educational journey at Churchill High School. Accepting this philosophy is synonymous with lowering the bar of excellence and expectations in life. I can't stand behind that mind set or line of thinking.
This summer any student that is not on track for graduation will be invited and enrolled into Summer School. We need to ensure that all students are focused on the end goal of graduation and preparing themselves for the world after high school. Our job to to make good on our promise that we will make your students feel safe, special and that we will ensure that they learn. Promises come with strong and impassioned work, which includes registration and enrollment in summer school if the student is not on track for graduation.
