CENTAURI HIGH SCHOOL FALCONS North Conejos School District Report for March and APRIL, 2013 Academic Excellence- Centauri High School just received an especially nice crystal award from topschoolsintheusa.com, awarded for being a Top High School in the United States, 2012-13. Ms. Bev Glynn has gone the extra mile with respect to ACT preparation by bringing in Carol Smead, ACT prep specialist to work to sessions with CHS Juniors on strategies for enhancing an ACT score, vital to them personally and to our school in terms of performance frameworks. CHS continues its Alliance partnership with Colorado State University, the spring meeting being held on March 18th at Centauri High School. Reports of current students and their development, program progress and current status discussed. Scholarships received are too numerous to mention. CHS Seniors are being well-rewarded for their academic and vocational endeavors, from Harvard to UTI. Jasmine Gallegos received both the CHS Outstanding Junior Girl and Outstanding Junior from CU Boulder. Professional Development- Ms. Sonia Genesio has attended a reading conference. The conference had a broad spectrum of mini-sessions from which Ms. Genesio chose; her options were those that impacted CHS and what we can do to insure our reading scores stay and/or improve. Each CHS teacher has completed a short, online course “Creating a Safe Environment” via the National Federation of High Schools. The course, usually at the cost of $50 was waived, it is now used as a training video to instruct sponsors, teachers and coaches about taking measures to prevent bullying and other scenarios to prevent when supervision and teaching are key. Mr. Devin Smith and Mr. Jesse Shawcroft are working toward their administrator’ certificate, pursuing a minimum of 300 hours toward that end. Each is a key component to the development of the CHS UIP for 2013; a day spent over spring break will be dedicated to finalizing some things on our UIP from their perspective. The March 6th early release was devoted entirely to TCAP proctor and protocol training. As CHS is familiar with ACT protocol and has run the TCAP in the same manner, the only new adjustment for staff is having two proctors in the same room. Leadership and Character Development - We have numerous CHS students who will be notified that they are Colorado Academic All-State, TBA shortly. ****The Centauri High School Band was specifically asked by CHSAA Commissioner Bud Ozello and President of the CHSAA Basketball Committee, Paul Cain, to play the National Anthem prior to the Championship Games Saturday night because of their noticeable abilities Thursday night.
