During recent years at Collins Hill High School we explicitly focused on the social, emotional, and physical well-being of staff and students. We believe that an extension of this work would be to provide additional opportunities to elevate student voice, ownership, and agency in the design of their school experience at Collins Hill and to be responsive to their requests. 

1. Continuation of the "You Belong Here" Campaign that features students and teachers on posters throughout the building. 
2. Expansion of the Collins Hill Student Leadership Programs to elevate student voice and to increase student-led activities centered around school pride and culture. 
3. Enhancement of the current student representative system (Influencer), for each Advisement Class. The Influencers will meet monthly to receive leadership training and to provide insight to teachers and administration of the student body's needs. 
4. Establish quarterly opportunities for student feedback and or open forum meetings with Collins Hill Administration to discuss ideas and concerns. 

During the 2023-2024 School Year Collins Hill High School focused on the development of Course Leads and strengthening the focus and engagement of Collaborative Learning Teams. One key take away from our work was the importance of reducing variability and increasing the fidelity of High-Quality Tier 1 instruction implementation for all students including targeted small groups, course specific curriculum, ongoing formative assessments, and progress monitoring. 

Weekly CHHS Collaborative Learning Team (CLT) planning with a focus on providing engaging, effective instruction, and Tier 1 interventions by doing the following:

1. The use of effective research proven instructional strategies in all classrooms.
2.  Data analysis of common formative and summative assessments. 
3.  Maintaining instructional focus on small group instruction and social emotional learning. 
4.  Conducting peer observation coaching cycles with fidelity.

CHHS had the following percentage of students score at the Proficient & Distinguished levels on Milestone Exams for the 2023-2024 School Year: 

During the 2023-2024 School Year Collins Hill Cluster had a record number of 35 teachers participating in the ESOL Certification course. The application of learning from teachers participating in the TALC program should help our efforts to improve the services and support we provide to Multilingual Learners at Collins Hill High School and help to accelerate language acquisition. 

All Collins Hill High School Teachers will work collaboratively with ESOL Certified teachers within their departments to implement effective instructional strategies to meet the needs of Multilingual Learners in their classes. 

1. Each CLT will identify teachers on the team or within the content area that can serve as a resource for supporting ML students.
2. Each CLT will spend time in their meetings becoming familiar with the GCPS Multilingual Learner Online Communication Center (MLOCC) and the resources available in this tool. 
3. Each teacher will include a daily or weekly language goal along with their daily learning targets. 

Collins Hill High School will prepare each and every student for postsecondary and/or work force readiness based on each student's unique interests, abilities, and skills. This will be accomplished by providing: 

1. Effective instructional practices including quality plus teaching strategies and multi-tiered systems of support.
2. Increasing opportunities for CTAE Pathway completion, participation in Dual Enrollment, enrollment in AP Courses, and participation in Internships and Externships in the Collins Hill Community.
3. Exposure to college and military recruiters. 
4. FAFSA help sessions for students and families. 

1. Implementing effective instructional practices including Quality Plus Teaching Strategies and Multi-tiered Systems of Support.
