Its programs include Word Processing, Spreadsheets, Databases, Computer Aided Design, Desktop Publishing, and MultiMedia. This unique program serves as the basic administrative and guidance unit for our students. Each administrator, teacher, guidance counselor, and librarian is responsible for a House Group consisting of approximately twelve students. Meeting every morning with the House Group serves to personalize this school experience. House Group teachers act as advisors to help manage the students academic program by consulting with fellow teachers about progress, holding parent conferences at least twice a year.
Many students stay with the same house group teacher throughout their stay at the high school.
This relationship is especially valuable during the college application process. Guidance counselors assist in all aspects of school life from scheduling, personal and crisis counseling, career decision making and post secondary planning. It is because of our unique House Group Plan that teachers are able to cultivate a close relationship with students. They develop an accurate knowledge of the students academic abilities and their activities outside the classroom. For this reason most college letters of recommendation are written by academic and house group teachers.
