QHS Writing Center
Write Like A JACK!
Justify Academic Content Knowledge
Our Mission
The QHS Writing Center is a place where students can learn how to thrive as writers. We recognize that the ability to write effectively is necessary for a person to share their intellect and creativity with the world. It is our goal to provide students with the skills they need to unleash their potential through writing.
The QHS Writing Center is a student-run, teacher-directed space where students across all content areas can get feedback on their writing. When students visit the writing center, they spend 15-30 minutes discussing their writing and revising their ideas with a friendly, highly-qualified peer tutor throughout the school day. In the library, peer tutors will focus on how effectively and how clearly writers communicate their ideas. Tutors will help students in any stage of the writing process, whether they are brainstorming, organizing their ideas, writing an assertion or thesis statement, or refining their drafts.
