Mission Statement: Central Nine exists to engage and empower students by providing career-based instruction in an innovative learning environment. We make an IMPACT on our students' personal and professional SKILLS, which enables them to succeed in post-secondary and career opportunities.
-PLCs-Moving away from Technology Centers That Work (TCTW) and going to professional learning communities (PLCs) for the 2020-2021 school year as our school improvement model.
-Facilities study-Performance Services is working with us at no cost over the course of the school year to answer questions on capacity, usage, and future possibilities for expansion.
-Dual Credit--Aligning CTE dual credit with academic dual credit to provide a maximum potential for our students. 18-30 college credits free of tuition by the time they graduate.
-The superintendents all acknowledged that their school districts implement some form of PLCs.
-They were also interested in assisting Central Nine in understanding rationale behind why some students have elected not to continue their pursuit in a program. Once students leave others who might have been on a waiting list should get a chance to replace them within a certain time frame. In addition, promoting students to come to Central Nine is no longer an issue based on the graduation pathways. Helping students find the right path and the right program is more important so they come and stay in the program of their choice. All counselors and school officials will be involved in this process.
-Central Nine is working on adjusting its approach to promoting programs and lining up students with desired offerings and choices.
