Representatives from New Washington High School described the school's small size and academy model and emphasized strong teacher–student relationships during a presentation to the Greater Clark County Schools meeting.

The presenters said the school serves nearly 200 students and operates an academy model that places freshmen in a freshman academy and then expands them into four career-focused academies to prepare students for postsecondary opportunities. "New Washington High School is comprised of almost 200 students who enter our school every single day excited to learn," said Speaker 1, a New Washington High School staff member.

Presenters stressed the personal attention students receive in a smaller setting. "We function with an academy model, so we have opportunities for students to enter the freshman academy their first year and then expand into 4 different career focused academies to really prepare them for post secondary opportunities," Speaker 1 said. Another staff member added, "Community here at new Washington is very close knit, right? Small school, small town. And 1 of those things that you can look forward to is that your kid is going to get everything they need." (Speaker 2, New Washington High School staff member.)

Speakers described teachers and staff taking on multiple roles to support students. "We, as a small school, have a small faculty and staff, but our faculty and staff are mighty. They serve in many different capacities," Speaker 1 said. The presenters noted that teachers often serve as class sponsors, academy leads and members of building leadership, which they said helps staff track students' progress across multiple years and tailor instruction: "Students are going to have teachers for multiple years. It helps you to build relationships ... And as teachers, we can understand how they learn better and adapt our teaching to what we know works best," said Speaker 4, a New Washington High School staff member.
