School Improvement Appeal 2018

While our State grade is still embargoed, we have much to celebrate at Highland Christian School! We are beginning to reap the rewards of our labor and thank you for your generosity as we continue to adapt our learning environments. We can already observe a continued pattern of growth and high student achievement.

We know that this growth is in direct relationship to three key changes that have already occurred as we position Highland Christian School for a vibrant future. The first change was a cultural shift as we adopted the practices and mindset of a Professional Learning Community where the fundamental purpose of the school is learning for all at high levels. The second involved a decision to focus on STEM as a foundation for student success. Through the Project Lead the Way engineering curriculum, our students are developing the critical thought and problem solving skills that will be required of them in high school and beyond. The third change was in regard to technology. Our 1:1 Technology program put a device in the hands of every student.

The focus of this year’s School Improvement Appeal is to continue this forward momentum. Funds raised through this appeal will allow us to:

• Equip (2) classrooms with moveable, transitional furnishings that support collaboration in learning. In a blended learning environment, students shift from whole class instruction to small groups and to solitary work- all made possible with moveable furniture.
• Provide continued professional development for our teachers.
• Address signage on Ridge Road. Currently, we need to relocate the brick memorial sign and repair or replace the electronic marquee.
