STRONGER TOGETHER
Our Vision of Learning
In full support of our district mission and vision, we at SCC High School are committed to...
Creating a learning experience built on creativity, choice, efficiency, and engagement, resulting in high-achieving and creative problem-solvers who take intellectual risks to discover the world around them and maximize their potential.
**WE PUT STUDENTS FIRST**
What does "students first" mean?
- We stand in the gap between what is and what could be.
- We find solutions - we don't blame kids.
- We circle around them in support - always.
- We freely give what they need.
- We recognize their poor choices and guide them to make better choices.
- We do things that are inconvenient for the adults because it's what's best for the students.
- We try the next thing because we never let them run out of chances.
- We provide physical, mental, and emotional safety - no matter what.
- We model what we expect.
- We love all of them.
If not us then who?
We Have the Power to...
- SERVE others
- show EMPATHY
- LIFT others UP
