We will maintain high expectations by believing that all of our students will make it to and through college, by setting rigorous goals for each student such that they have the knowledge and skills to succeed in college and life, and by doing whatever it takes to ensure our students meet these goals.
We will uphold our commitment to our students and their families by making ourselves available regarding any concerns they might have; all phone calls and emails will be answered within one business day. We will always put forth the requisite time and effort to ensure our students meet their goals. We will always protect the safety, interests, and rights of all individuals in the classroom by taking ownership of our students at all times and in all ways.
To ensure that our students have more time on task, we will arrive at DCH every day by 7:30 A.M. and will remain until at least 5:00 P.M. (Mon.-Fri.) We will come to DCH on appropriate Saturdays and take eligible students on at least one field lesson per month.
We will take students on an End of Year Field Lesson for one week in June, we will work at the school for one week in June and have two weeks of vacation in June. We will help our students achieve their goals in the months of July and August by teaching at summer school, doing credit recovery, and participating in professional development.
We will demonstrate our power to lead as the instructional leaders of our classrooms and also through leadership in extracurricular activities and sports. We will always model what we expect of our students and will take initiative to create opportunities for our students outside the classroom.
We will focus on results by seeking out best practices and then using data-driven instruction to ensure that we are teaching in the best way we know how. We will ask for help when needed, collaborate with colleagues, and attend professional development classes, staff meetings, and department meetings as scheduled.
