Students learn to think and apply knowledge, be self-directed and resourceful problem solvers and work as individuals and members of a team to reach standards and goals. Citizenship activities and class meetings encourage the development of strong social skills and character. Forest Hill School's staff is enthusiastic about learning and work together as a team, making important decisions about curriculum, allocation of resources, schedules, schoolwide programs and events. They facilitate staff, grade level and committee meetings and meet regularly to discuss student work, assessment results and consistent curriculum. Forest Hill teachers are committed to professional development and growth opportunities available at the school site and the district.
Teachers offer support to each other in areas of expertise.
A Literacy Coordinator teaches a literacy course at Forest Hill and provides coaching opportunities for all teachers with her or with their peers. Math mentors and six technology certified teachers offer workshops and support. Partnerships with universities, business and foundations enhance the environment. We are proud of our accomplishments and look forward to the challenges we face in a rapidly changing society. The home of the mighty Falcons welcomes students and supports them on their educational journey as they prepare to be responsible citizens and leaders of the twenty-first century.
