Dear Lancer Families,
We are excited about the progress we are making at La Follette High School:
- Our cell phone policy of "off and away" is helping our students to put people first, focus on collaboration with classmates, and engage in more time learning in the classroom.
- With our focus on close reading, we are teaching specific strategies that support students to engage in meaningful conversations around texts, so that all students contribute great ideas to deep conversations.
- We are all committed to working with students to earn credit and strive for a 3.0+ GPA, specifically providing intensive supports for students who are not yet meeting their full potential, and teaching all of our Lancers to believe in themselves as learners and never give up.
- We are focused on supporting our African American students to learn and grow, and working with students individually and in groups to empower them to learn and remove barriers to learning.
