Embrace-Inspire-Empower
A Thought or Two From Mr. Nieslanik
I have visited all corners of the school, sat in classrooms, walked the halls, and watched our students enter this school year with purpose, poise, and pride. Our building feels good. It feels whole. Our students are engaged in their community, and are settling into the patterns of school.
In the first two weeks of school I have noticed:
1. Our 90+ Dual Language students are learning in classes taught in both English and Spanish.
2. Our seniors are stepping up as leaders of the school and establishing what it means to be a leader, and a Skyhawk.
3. Our marching band, color guard, Hawkettes and thespians represented SRHS with pride in the Beaverton City Parade.
4. We came together as one as we remembered both EJ and Tyler.
5. Our staff is laying a strong foundation in each and every classroom.
Southridge is proud to announce....
We have been authorized as the second high school in Oregon to offer the IB Career-Related Program! As an IB Career-Related Program school we are able to bring a whole new dimension of the International Baccalaureate to our students. Students in the IBCP can earn a certificate equal to the IBDP diploma by completing:
- 50 hours of service learning
- a Career Technical Pathway (Health Careers, Auto-Tech, Sports Medicine, Tech Careers, Journalism or Business/Marketing
- the Personal and Professional Skills course
- a world language during the junior/senior year. This could include ASL, Spanish, or French
- a reflective project
- two IB classes and assessments with scores of 3 or higher.
If you have any questions about the IB Career-Related Program you can contact IB CP Coordinator Natalie Ballard-Strauhal or at 503-356-2890.
