Dear community member,
- 26 consecutive years of increased enrollment
- Graduation rate up 6%

- Continuous improvement on local and state tests
- A five year program allowing students to graduate with both a high school diploma and a two year college degree at no cost to parents
- Students earning millions of dollars in scholarships each year
- Districtwide Response to Bullying and Positive Behavior programs ensure a safe learning environment
- Choices for students include magnet programs, Early College program, STEM program, AP courses, and dual enrollment

Does this sound like a school district that needs to be overhauled, reformed, and taken-over by a state controlled board? I don’t think so, but obviously some legislators in Lansing do.

December 10, 2012 | Woodworth | Comments Off
PARENTS: Look for the latest copy of School Life. Students should have started brining the latest issue home last Friday. If your student didn’t bring it home ask them to…….

Just a few of the many great stories in the December edition include:

o Universities answering more important questions from our students about going to college
o The impact students are having on ‘teaching teachers’.
o A robust Events Calendar
o Students Receiving Advanced Placement Academic Recognition
o Plus much, much more
