Reflect for a moment on this quote by Dr. McGuire… “Our success as a school district is not measured by
how well our students perform while in WWS, but rather on their success the day after graduation.”
Who is that person that made the biggest difference
for you post graduation?”
Rigor -To provide meaningful and engaging work in the
pursuit of profound learning.

The level of preparation a student needs in order to enroll and succeed—without remediation—in a credit bearing course at a postsecondary institution that offers a baccalaureate degree or transfer to a baccalaureate program, or in a high‐quality certificate program that enables students to enter a career pathway with potential future advancement. Succeed is defined as completing the entry‐level courses or core certificate courses at a level of understanding and proficiency that makes it possible for the student to consider taking the next course in the sequence or the next level of course in the subject area or of completing the certificate.
