NEW CONCEPTS draw plenty of interest during parent night


The Taylor School District’s new Taylor High School Wall to Wall Academies concepts continue to spark discussions across the community.

Recently the high school and district administrators welcomed eighth graders and their parents to the 2018 Taylor High School Wall to Wall Academy Parent Night presentation at Truman High School in Cafe A. There was a fantastic turnout, and after an informative power point presentation, an engaging Q&A took place about all of the exciting changes being made in preparation for next fall.

In addition to parents from Hoover and West middle schools, we were excited to welcome parents from Taylor Prep, Summit Academy, and Trillium as well.

Highlights of the presentation and Q&A included the district's intentional focus on aligning all courses into the four pathways to ensure students are able to target their personal areas of interest as they schedule courses, building a network of community business and industry partners to support the multiple industry certifications that our students will be able to receive, and ensuring students have access to business internships, adult business mentors, job-shadow experiences, and other meaningful learning experiences while still in high school.


More meetings and presentations will come in the future.
