Ongoing Review & Improvement
We regularly evaluate and update our curriculum to keep it current, engaging, and effective in meeting the needs of all learners. Specifically, teachers, the guidance counselor, and principal review the course sequence & current offerings on a yearly basis to identify need for course additions, sequence changes, etc. The course catalog is subsequently updated and approved by the board of education.
