YCHS assistant principal and athletic director gives final report, cites 93% cohort graduation rate
Summary
YCHS assistant principal and athletic director presented a final written report highlighting spring-sports achievements and a reported 93% graduation rate for the cohort (a stated 23-point year-over-year increase); staff described interventions to sustain progress.
Tanner (presenting as assistant principal and athletic director for YCHS) told the board this would be his final written report in that combined role and reviewed athletics outcomes and student achievement metrics. He noted, "We score the 276," described spring sports highlights (boys volleyball's first trip to state, baseball's playoff win, softball reaching the state semifinal) and said the cohort graduation rate was "93 percent," which he framed as a roughly 23-percentage-point jump from the prior year.
Board members asked how the graduation rate was calculated and whether it included transfer students; the assistant principal explained cohort accounting and said the district counts students who started as freshmen and adjusts for transfers. He also described steps to keep students on track, including creating additional intervention class sections (rather than relying solely on computer-based credit recovery), targeted J-term instruction and summer family outreach for students falling behind.
The presentation also covered assessment results and staffing updates: the school reported improvements by grade band on multiple measures, ongoing hiring for open positions, and plans for continued monitoring via the district's data reports.
