Cheers to our accomplished graduating class of 2020! Health Leadership HS salutes you!

2020 Re-Engagement Program Senior Graduates:

Driving Question: How will you leave your legacy and set yourself up for success?

Project Health Domains: Students must address all three of the health domains in the projects they design for the community: Systems, Determinants, and Clients. They must understand how all three interact and affect the health of an individual or group.

Project Problem + Purpose: Students decide on the community problem or issue they identify through either prior knowledge and experiences or new research on a topic they have discovered. Throughout the planning of their community projects, students must explain the problem or issue in the community and how their project's purpose helps address those problems or issues. Each student will use that identified purpose to drive their projects in the community and help shape their community service or support they provide throughout their senior year.

Community Partners + Engagement: Due to students creating their own individual projects, there are multiple community partners involved through the CWP class. Students are required to identify and source community partners to help them plan and implement their projects in the community. Teachers also help provide community partners and connections beyond their projects for internship/shadowship opportunities, as well as connections to the local community college for dual enrollment courses.

It was such an honor to work with this group of young bright individuals. Every day I learned something new about how to approach teaching and learning together. There were many hurdles along the way and being able to celebrate them, their community visions, their passion, and their journeys as they take their next step in life beyond high school makes it all worth it. I know you all know better than anyone what lengths we have gone this year and I want to congratulate you all on this monumental achievement. Keep going strong! - Ms. Omkulthoom Qassem, CWP Teacher, B.A., M.A.
