About Us
The Secondary Programs Team is a member of the Instructional Services Division. Team members are committed to providing leadership and support for families as they navigate the exciting middle and high school years and for teachers as they seek to deliver rigorous courses within a safe, orderly and caring environment. Our goal is to develop systems that support both traditional and magnet schools to ensure that the courses offered are aligned to local, state and national standards, relevant to student needs and of sufficient rigor to assure career or post-secondary options upon graduation. We seek to continuously improve the instructional program by offering leadership in national trends, training in best practices and resource deployment that supports teaching and learning.
Parents and students are encouraged to sample the wealth of information available on this site. Students should also begin to personalize their secondary experience by joining one of the many extra-curricular activities that are offered in our schools. The many skills developed in these clubs, activities or organizations will prove to be assets in the world of tomorrow.
Middle School Programs (Grades 6-8)
Middle schools are organized into interdisciplinary teams in which two to five teachers assume joint responsibility for the instructional program of a specific group of students. This organization offers advantages for students, teachers, and parents. As a team, teachers are better able to address students’ needs, and parents will find communication with teachers to be facilitated. Teacher teams prove invaluable in assisting students as they make the academic and social transition between elementary school and high school.
High School Programs (Grades 9-12)
High schools are committed to assisting students tailor a program if learning that suits students’ needs and interests. Choices students make in high school will affect options they have in the post-secondary environment. Efforts at the high school level are centered around courses of study that offer a coherent approach to programs aligned with national, state and local standards. The work of the team is to ensure that all students graduate on time prepared for the future.
