Summary
Principals reported early college and high school gains: Lancaster STEM Early College met designation standards and will send 88 early college students to graduation with associates degrees; Lancaster High School reports over 700 TSI completions and nine students earning associates degrees.
Ashley Tippett, principal of Lancaster STEM Early College High School, told the board her campus met designation standards across access, attainment and achievement and earned a distinction in each area. "This year, we have 382 students in early college," Tippett said, and she added that the class of 2026 senior cohort had very high TSIA completion rates.
Tippett outlined cohort-level TSIA results: graduating seniors have completed required TSIA exams, the class of 2027 is at about 82% completion and the class of 2028 is at 67%, with testing ongoing for younger cohorts. She said early college students participate broadly in extracurriculars and community service and that the campus uses district funds to support college visits and incentives.
Lancaster High School principal Miss Jett reported enrollment had shifted from 1,456 to 1,324 and emphasized retention and flexible learning pathways to support student success. Jett highlighted more than 700 TSI completions districtwide and said nine Lancaster High School students will earn associates degrees alongside the early college graduates. "We remain committed to ensuring every student is prepared for success beyond high school," she said.
Board members congratulated staff and students and noted graduation-related events in mid-May.
