"A Portrait of a Graduate represents a school district's vision for the 21st century skills, character traits, and/or social-emotional competencies that students need to succeed in college, career, and life." ~Katharine Quigley

With graduation right around the corner, this is the perfect week to remind everyone of our PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE. Last year, as a team, we came up with this "skill-set" that every graduate from Rio Hondo High School P-TECH must possess upon graduation.

1. LEADER
2. RESILIENT
3. RESPONSIBLE
4. COLLABORATOR
5. COMMUNICATOR
6. CRITICAL THINKER

Our PORTRAIT OF A GRADUATE needs to be a driving force for our everyday business. We cannot just post it on a mantle or poster and say we do all these things because then what's the point. We need to be intentional on a daily basis. Remember, the ultimate goal is for our students to be COLLEGE, CAREER, and LIFE READY.
