Hewitt Trussville High School outlines continuous improvement plan tied to state report card
Summary
HTHS staff presented a Continuous Improvement Plan (ACIP/CIP) focused on academic achievement, climate and culture, and professional learning; presenters emphasized CCRI pathways, ACT benchmarking, expanded AP/CTE access and teacher collaboration to raise district metrics.
Hewitt Trussville High School leaders and their ACIP/CIP team presented the school's Continuous Improvement Plan to the Trussville City Schools board, linking goals to the Alabama state report card and concrete actions the school plans to take.
Mr. King introduced the team and framed the presentation as a look at current reality and planning for the future. He said the plan aligns state-report-card components — academic achievement, growth, CCRI (college and career readiness indicators), graduation rate and chronic absenteeism — with a set of initiatives. Specific approaches include embedding ACT skill work across core instruction, offering ACT boot camps, expanding AP and dual-enrollment access, CTE credentialing pathways and structured teacher collaboration such as instructional rounds and leadership team meetings.
Nut Graf: Presenters emphasized that a high district score (the transcript cited a 96 for the high school) does not preclude continued improvement. The plan lists three primary objectives: increase academic achievement, improve climate and culture, and foster high-quality professional learning, each with related initiatives and stakeholder engagement strategies.
Dina Decelles, introduced herself as a special-education teacher and described targeted supports to raise the composite ACT and CCRI attainment for students who need additional services. Mr. King and other presenters described data cycles, teacher voice and professional-learning structures intended to sustain improvement.
Ending: The board heard the presentation and had no follow-up motions recorded in the transcript; presenters said they will continue implementing the plan and monitoring results.
