Anderson New Technology High School

At New Tech, we prepare our students for a successful future.

ANTHS LCAP Goals & WASC Action Plan Goals

LCAP Goal 1: Over the course of four years, all students will be able to demonstrate mastery of the essential “soft skills” that business, college and university leaders seek, as they progress towards graduation while having completed an A-G course of study and/or an identified CTE pathway.WASC Action Plan Goal: Continue to adapt curriculum, assessments, and resources to the new hybrid model.

Students in Human Anatomy dissected rats. The focus of the lab was to have students observe the organs of the digestive system, and to give students an introduction into organ systems we will be discussing in upcoming lessons, such as the urinary system and cardiovascular system.

Through dissections like this, students learn the importance of following directions along with precision and detailed observation.

LCAP Goal 2: New Tech will provide a safe learning environment to work with students in order to meet their mental, emotional, and physical health while maintaining our high academic standards with a focus on future success.

WASC Action Plan Goal: Create a systemic plan to integrate new, mid-year and homeschooling students into our school culture and retain them over the course of 4 or 5 years.

All students, new and returning have their PLT (Personalized Learning Teacher) to help navigate the school and their path within, connecting to counselor, Echo help, or anything they need to be more future ready.
New student meetings continue with parent(s) and student with teacher, counselor and principal - accountability, success plan in becoming future ready is established.

Spanish II just wrapped up their individual presentations on a Hispanic Artist that they chose. The presentations were meant to be a brief introduction into the artists' life and then a showcase of 5-10 of their most famous works. The student presentations were wonderful and all in Spanish.

The second part of this project is a favorite of the students. One of the pieces of artwork that they showcased is secretly chosen. Then they cut up the photo of the art into pieces. Each student paints their section onto a big piece of cardstock. When finished, students put all their pieces together and the final image gets displayed in the lobby of the school for a year.

Pictured here is the art piece from last year.

LCAP Goal 3: New Tech will develop and maintain a systematic method for partnering with parents and community members. WASC Action Plan Goals: 1) Strengthen parental connections and offer more opportunities for connections on campus. 2) Find, develop and cultivate relationships with community members and alumni; create opportunities for them to be regularly involved on campus.

Jill McWilliams, along with student ambassadors, have been busy traveling to different schools in Shasta County this month and into February. Mrs. McWilliams has seen a lot of positive response to the presentations! Our presentation slideshow can be seen using this link.

We are pleased to announce upcoming information sessions for parents, guardians, and students on February 6th and February 27th. These evenings will feature presentations about New Tech, a forum for questions directed to a panel of students, and introductions to our faculty and staff members.
