Special Programs
Academic excellence is an expectation for all students at Page High. The
Scholars Program at Page is designed to meet the academic needs of those
students who desire to pursue a rigorous yet personally rewarding course
of study. The purpose of the program, exclusive to Page High School, is
to offer optimum opportunity for the student to achieve the best
education possible at the high school level.
The Page High School Senior
Project is modeled after the Southern Regional Education Board’s
High Schools That Work Program’s Senior Project. The goal of this
project
is
to give students an opportunity to combine their knowledge and skills to
show what they have learned in 12 years of education. The Senior Project
provides an opportunity for a student to choose an area of interest and
need, conduct research, hone communication skills, give back to the
community, demonstrate problem-solving, decision making, and independent
learning skills. The project contributes to a strong senior year
of challenging courses and practical experiences that prepare students
for the next step in work and further education.
The PHS Senior Project involves several steps. First, the student
determines an area of interest and need, makes necessary contacts, and
serves the community in the chosen area. Second, the student prepares a
portfolio consisting of a brag sheet, a resume, and three letters of
recommendation written about the student and one letter the student
writes about a peer. Third, the student makes a formal
presentation to a panel composed of educators and/or community members
who in turn, ask questions about the service, process, and find out what
the student learned during the project. Students are not alone in
this process. Each student meets periodically with a faculty
advisor; in addition, the student may work with a mentor from the
community as part of their service product.
Library/Media Center
Media Center is open from 7:15 a.m.
until 2:45 p.m. each school day. The media center staff is committed to
providing students and faculty access to a wide variety of resources
which represent various points of view on current and historical events
and issues. The school Web Page includes information about the media
center and instructional pages for finding, evaluating and documenting
resources.
Academics
Page offers a wide selection of courses and programs presented in a
variety of teaching methodologies designed to meet the needs of all our
students. Page High has been recognized as an outstanding educational
institution and has been visited by educators from across the nation.
Guidance
The counseling center provides the student body with various services
designed to help the student grow and develop in the areas of academic,
career and social concerns. Our staff includes three professional
counselors and a registrar. Our counseling, guidance area also includes
a Career Center that provides students with an opportunity to
investigate career choices. A complete program of studies is available
on our school WebPage.
W.I.N. program
The W.I.N. (What’s Important Now) program is designed to encourage and
help each freshman connect to at least one adult with focuses on the
following three important components: 1. Academic Growth, 2.
Personal Growth, and, 3. Career Awareness. W.I.N. is built on a solid
foundation in which a T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Accomplishes
More) of twelve advisors will closely monitor the progress of
these areas over your child’s high school tenure. The W.I.N. T.E.A.M.
embraces the concept that this experience is about “progress, not
perfection”- always striving to grow and to finish well. We also adopt
the fact that the most important aspect of placing each student on a
positive path is relationship building. Students will care about
how much we know when they realize how much we care. W.I.N. will meet
daily during sixth period (lunch/advisee period) and will include
intramurals and guest speakers to enrich the mind/body concept and add
to the quality of your child’s overall education.
STARS
Students Taking a Right Stand has a strong presence at Page High School.
The STARS counselor, is here four full days each week to lead support
groups and meets with individuals. The Student Executive Council and
Core Team of faculty are strong groups that work to promote drug,
alcohol, and violence free students through STARS.
