Editor's Notes
- The gravel pit story the grass fields, bricks and mortar, and breathing life into this building on September 2, 1997.
- Where are you going…what is your goal…graduation is a celebrated milestone. It is important to strive for this goal, but it is not THE ULTIMATE goal…we are preparing our students to be lifelong learners…we want them to be prepared for their post secondary experience…we beat the national average for the number of our students that earn their degree within 6 years of high school graduation….that is one important measure of our success….our legacy of learning and achievement we can leave with our students…
- CIS: 300 earned 1423 credits worth $465,000 at the University of Mn Advanced Placement…1079 tests with 87% earning scores that could earn college credit Articulation Agreements: Several courses earn credit at 2 year schools and some 4 year schools BPA business professionals of america DECA delta epsilon chi association FCCLA- national student organization of Family, Community & Career Leaders of America STEM pathways…something for everyone…less that 50 students do not take 4 years of math and science In house ACT Prep Course ANNIE- About 176 students in the play….only 18 speaking parts. PIT: 29 Dance: 35 Chorus: 41 Actors: 31 (18 spkg) Tech: 40
- Analyst John Hawkins estimates that the creative sector will be worth $6.1 trillion internationally in less than 15 years- the largest economy in the world. The economic impact of art and design exceeds that of sports worldwide One in 111 jobs is in art and design “The keys to the kingdom are changing hands. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind- creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers. These people- artists, inventors, designers, storytellers, … and big picture thinkers- will now reap society’s richest rewards and share its greatest joys.” Daniel H. Pink, Author- “A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future”

- INPUTS: Students, teachers, administrators, parents, community members, state and federal requirements (NCLB), parental anxieties, high stakes testing, etc…. OUTPUTS: Students ready for the 21st century postsecondary educational options or workforce ready…competent, better test results Love to mow, I can start the mower, change the filter, change the oil, add gas, and complete the lawn even with some special lines…but can I explain how an internal combustion engine works…we hope to get students to this point at EVHS…more than going thru the motions…more than simply walking the hallways and socializing for 696 school days…we want students to have a goal to understand the internal combustion engine…(metaphorically speaking) Take Science and math principles to solve problems using the tools of technology and the creativity of an engineer!

- 54 students during Q1 2008-09 89 students during q2 2008-09
- Black Hawk on Tuesday FRMS on Thursday SHMS on Friday
- Student information is updated in Naviance weekly by District Technology Support. Main student information database is Infinite Campus.
- Students are more excited to get to high school than their parents. Parents are more nervous, anxious, overwhelmed with all the information, etc. than students. Our Advanced Placement Psychology students have been doing some research in preparation for their AP Exam in May. They believe they have devised an identifier to help folks understand when they are under undu anxiety, overly nervous, overwhelmed with a particular event in their lives. I have heard from lots of folks about how they are unsure about all the information available to them about this important transition and all the choices and decisions that need to be made… It is a picture of 2 identical dolphins and they asked me to do a case study tonight…and when shown to individuals feeling this way they may say some differences….if you see differences. Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. Our students believe that in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical, a person anxious or overwhelmed person would find differences in the two dolphins. If the subject found many differences between the dolphins, it meant that the person was experiencing a great amount of stress.
- So…if you see any differences…you are in the right place tonight. We will have you seeing 2 dolphins by 7:30!
- students excited and engaged about learning! It is OK to work on a math or chemistry problem for more than 20 seconds.
- EVHS will provide a lot of support for students to get where they want to be….we survey our seniors and 93% t say go on to 4 and 2 year post secondary opportunities. Caring and engaged staff…coaches, teachers, clerical staff, food service…very important (lunch and breakfast served at EVHS)…our custodians…we have 1 custodian that is very engaged…knows most of our students…attends all the games he can and even funds a couple scholarships for students after high school….students services….with our staff of licensed school counselor to help with social emotional and mental health issues for our students in additional to a developmental academic and college planning program. We refer to this as the productive struggle…it will not always be easy…we work to create that appropriate level of challenge with support for students…challenge is the only way we can improve than it our business.
- It takes time…it may seem tedious, it will become more and more important down the road in the future… If you have a chance to visit NYC you should stop by Liberty Island and take a Helicopter tour over the Statue of Liberty in NY Harbor. Lady Liberty is built from a steel frame covered with copper and it stands 305 feet in the air (a football field is 330 feet long) If you look down on her head you will notice that every strand of hair has painstakingly formed in careful and minute detail, just as is every other area of her gown and body This hairdo required many additional weeks of work for Frederic Auguste Bartholdi in his shop in Paris, France. You see the Statue of Liberty was presented to President Cleveland October 28, 1886 Wilbur and Orville Wright did not fly their first plane until 17 years later at Kitty Hawk December 17, 1903 Bartholdi knew full well a few brave sea gulls would be the only ones to see the meticulously shaped and polished strands of hair Yet he took no SHORTCUTS NEVER NEGLECT THE LITTLE THINGS NEVER SKIMP ON THE EXTRA EFFORT YOU ARE SPECIAL ACT IT NEVER NEGLECT THE LITTLE THINGS
- What does comprehensive mean…take all students…comprehensive in abilities and achievement levels and comprehensive in the subjects taught… All students, all abilities, all achievement levels EVHS smaller than it really is… subcultures, cliques, niches 9- 9th Grade Teams and 12-10th Grade Teams (3x3 or 2x2), 10th grade 2x2s Cocurricular programs….100s of opportunities High expectations…in an April 2008 survey parents and students alike stated that we had high expectations for our students and that working hard will help them do well in school….this is evident in our hallways, in our classrooms in our cocurriculuar programs and it shows in the results of these programs Assessments are like Fox News (fair and balanced) formative (evaluative) and summative (comprehensive)…daily work assignment…labs…projects…presentations….tests…. Experiential Learning Opportunities Field trips Work Program… Mentor Program Career Development and Enrichment Opportunities From survey in April Parents say on a scale of 1 and 5 the average response was above a 4 that students feel safe and welcome and feels like they belong. Students say they feel safe (above a 4) and feel like they belong (3.9) Qualified teachers 78% have masters 72.5% have 10 or more years of teaching experience Parents say teachers provide resources to support student learning and they know what the expectations are for their students Students say that teachers care, are excited about their subjects, help them produce proficient work and expect their best listen and appreciate them
