Beginning & End

To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of one's destination. It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps, actions, decisions you take are always in the right direction.



Therefore starting with the end in mind: Order your Cap and Gown now for Graduation!

IMPORTANT PEOPLE TO YOUR SUCCESS

HSoC & Attendance

Attendance Matters!


Ninety-Five to Ninety-Nine percent of the students who attend HSoC. state the need to graduate early. However one cannot graduate if one is not in attendance. Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career. ... research shows that attendance is an essential factor in student achievement.


All students are full time 7:45 - 3:15


The bottom line is Students can be and withdrawn and frequently are when they fail to communicate issues and not show up for school. One student is withdrawn from HSoC. They will need to re-apply in order to be considered for acceptance.

Principal Plan

Credit Denials and Attendance

Below is an example of the type of documentation students receive once they are identified for possible loss of credit.
