“Igniting Minds, Fueling Futures” (R-PHS Mission Statement)
An update on the Accreditation Standard I: Vision & Purpose
As reported in the spring 2009 report, the commendations noted by the Quality Assurance Review Team (QART) for Vision & Purpose were:
- Mission statement proudly displayed throughout the high school
- Parents believe in administration and teachers
- Goals that align to the mission
- Wide spectrum of classes offered
- Extra curricular and co-curricular activities are numerous
- Career Pathways used to guide students to possible careers
The team suggested the following recommendations for action planning for the 2009-10 school year:
- Utilize communication devices (such as this blog) to develop stakeholder understanding and support of the mission of the high school.
- Have a plan in place to continuously maintain and share the profile of the school, its students and the community.
The action plans that staff have initiated are:
- Increasing the use of staff and administrative blogs to inform all stakeholders of school improvement initiatives as well as instructional support.
- Expand the informational services on the high school website.
Please take the time to “surf” the high school website. I believe you will be impressed with the information and support provided to our students!
