The A+ School Program is a school-improvement initiative established by the Outstanding School Act of 1993. The program is raising academic standards, opening new doors to higher education an introducing students to the teaching profession through tutoring and mentoring activities.
The focus of an A+ School is on what the student can do. Can the student actually apply his or her knowledge? Can the student demonstrate that he or she has developed the needed skills?
This programs provides incentives for local high schools to: reduce the dropout rate, raise academic expectations and eliminate "general track" courses, provide better "career pathways" for all students, develop a school/business partnership plan to work more closely with business and for higher-education leaders, establish measurable performance standards for individual courses and for graduation, and provide rigorous course work with standards of competency in all academic subjects.
The A+ Schools' concept expects All Students to achieve at a high level. The faculty and staff of Potosi High School continue to gain knowledge and enhance course work to meet the needs of all our students. |
