High School Developmental Project

Durham Public Schools

Presented by: Tiffany Boss, Annette Johnston, Kristin Morocco, Marcus Saunders

This developmental project is designed to help all stakeholders in education understand the unique needs of high school students. After completing a deep dive about adolescent development based on a plethora of information, we have compiled the highlights here. On this site, you will find information regarding the developmental stages, resources available at the district level from extra curricular to programming to community connections, and first hand accounts from high school students themselves. Through this information, we hope you will gain a foundation in what it means for students to be college and career ready as well as the resources available to get students to this level.
