Quote of the Day: Give thanks for what you are now, and keep fighting for what you want to be tomorrow.  ~Fernanda Miramontes-Landeros

Oregon School Report Cards were released today – we can only find five high schools in the southern part of the state that were rated as “Outstanding” – three of the five were on the Crater Campus, including Renaissance Academy Arts & Sciences. Their measures include test results, graduation rates, attendance and participation. In the face of continuing budget cuts, we are so proud of Renaissance students, staff and parents for creating an impressive culture of achievement.

During their senior year, students in Crater Renaissance Academy spend a portion of their advisory time exploring careers, opening their eyes to the wide spectrum of choices, and targeting skills that will benefit them in future endeavors.  Students selected six of twelve career paths as their “areas of interest.”  We’re drawing on our community to develop panels composed of varied jobs within each of the areas.  The first panel in the series represented Public Safety. The panelists included a Circuit Court judge, a legal assistant, a State Police detective, a probation officer, and a defense attorney.  Students listened, asked questions, and learned.  This was an exciting “first” in the series of six panels that will help prepare students to make informed decisions for today and tomorrow.
