Pearl City High School School Improvement Status

Summary of Progress

In SY 2022-2023, Pearl City High School, through its school-wide academy model, remained committed to providing all students with relevant and authentic learning experiences to prepare them for life beyond high school in accordance with the school’s mission and vision of a Charger graduate. To ensure that students are college and/or career ready, Pearl City High School continued to strengthen its three academies, refine and implement the Data-Driven Instructional Cycle, and implement Project Based Learning activities.

 

Strengthen College and Career Academies

  • Each academy, and the programs of study within each academy, identified priority areas to address during the school year based on the findings from the 2022 NCAC review.
  • Created additional WBL and Early College Opportunities such as the creation of a student operated credit union.
  • Hosted an open campus visitation for complex feeder schools to in-service their staff about the PCHS academies as part of the complex K-12 academy initiative.
  • Held NCAC In-site Onsite and CALC visitations for visiting schools interested in learning more about PCHS’s academy implementation process.
  • Held the 3rd Annual Charger Showcase, a student-led presentation of learning.
  • Updated and refined the College and Career Continuum to further integrate the academic core departments in the delivery of the continuum.

 

Refine and Implement the Data-Driven Instructional Cycle

  • School-wide Learner Needs were incorporated into the Data-Driven Instructional Cycles.
  • Professional Development, Modeling, and Coaching on high-impact instruction with a focus on literacy strategies provided.
  • Assessment data (STAR, SBAC, Biology EOC) disaggregated and analyzed to inform instruction.
  • Adaptive Tier 2 instruction provided to high-needs students based on universal screener data.
 

Support and Implement PBL

  • School-wide Learner Needs addressed in the PBL projects.
  • Weekly Coaching and Support provided to elective teachers implementing PBL projects.
  • Student presentations to authentic audiences both within the school and in the community.
