Innovation Centers

The Office of Secondary Schools is pleased to announce the completion of the San Diego High Innovation Center. San Diego High joins Morse, Crawford, Lincoln, and Hoover Innovation Centers to promote student engagement and advancement. The Innovation Centers are one of the targeted interventions in the districts early warning system for dropout prevention that focuses on student chronic absenteeism, poor grades, behavior problems and grade retention. Each center is staffed by a credentialed subject matter teacher that supports students working independently in standards based online instructional curricula in core courses for graduation. Students may take a course for remediation to make up a previous D or F grade, enrichment or AP for weighted credit.
The libraries at each of the schools have been refurbished with new furniture, computers, and promethean boards that encourages and enhances the learning experience for students at each location. With 5 centers operating San Diego Unified has a model for success that contributes to dropout prevention and improved graduation rates.

Students interested in taking classes should see their counselor for approval. The counselor will review the student transcript as well as teacher recommendations into the innovation center programs. Counselors will meet with students to discuss the innovation center opportunities. The students that are identified as good candidates will bring home the required forms and descriptions of the center to discuss with their family. After the students bring back the signed forms to the counselor they can begin their orientation to the Innovation Center as soon as is feasible.
