High Quality Instruction and Learning for Every Child, Every Day in Every Classroom
Hundreds of seniors graduate with meaningful diplomas Hundreds of Renton School District high school students graduated recently after years of hard work, determination and personal accomplishments. Students learned to think analytically, logically and creatively; and understand
how their work ethic will affect future career and educational opportunities. The students worked hard to meet all graduation requirements including: • complete classes to gain at least 22 credits in language arts, mathematics, the sciences, social studies, career and technical education, and electives; and • pass classroom- and schoolbased tests, and state tests in reading, writing and mathematics; • create a plan for life after high school designed to help them regularly think about their future and select course work that will best prepare them for their post high school goals.
Through the high-quality work of teachers and school staff, and with the countless hours of parent assistance, district high school graduates can read with comprehension, write effectively, and communicate successfully in a variety of ways and settings and with a variety of audiences; they know and apply the core concepts and principles of mathematics; social, physical, and life sciences; civics and history, including different cultures and participation in representative government; geography; arts; and health and fitness; they integrate experience and knowledge to form reasoned judgments and solve problems; and they understand the importance of work and finance and how performance, effort,
and decisions directly affect future career and educational opportunities.
