High school report: interventions for students 'at risk' and spring sports updates
Summary
School leadership reported on forecasting course offerings to allow semester electives, an intervention plan for at-risk students (noting an unusual sophomore spike), and spring-sports successes including cheer and multiple state qualifiers for wrestling.
Hunter delivered the high-school verbal report, describing a five-week positive-email recognition program that has sent 86 messages and outlining planning for the 2025–26 schedule to offer semester-length electives. "We're asking teachers to look at what our course offerings are... so we can offer classes that are one semester only," Hunter said, explaining the goal of flexible electives for small enrollment numbers.
Hunter also summarized on-track numbers by grade and raised concern about sophomore risk: "Seniors have 60 in the green and 12 at risk; juniors 52 in the green and 13 at risk... sophomores—27 at risk—which is abnormal." He outlined interventions including targeted meetings, Tigers on Track action plans, and weekly intervention scheduling to improve outcomes. On athletics, he highlighted cheer winning second place at state, girls basketball's league finish and playoff trip, and multiple wrestlers qualifying for state.
Board members asked about definitions and next steps; Hunter said "at risk" means failing two or more classes and described coordination between MTSS teams and teachers to identify recurring failing classes for targeted supports.
