Re-Envisioning the High School Experience


As San Diego Unified strives to provide innovative learning experiences for students, we asked our current students about their personal journeys to identify ways we can improve the High School Experience.

Ten of our High Schools were represented at our first Re-Envisioning the High School Experience event in April. We are very thankful of the students who participated and represented Clairemont, Crawford, Madison, Mt. Everest Academy, San Diego, Scripps Ranch, SCPA, Serra, The MET, and University High School!

The agenda was created by Endiya Griffin, from The MET with her team of student leaders. Endiya is a current Junior and did an exceptional job facilitating the day while exploring what the future of education in our district could look like.

Students explored what support from teachers looks like, how lessons can be designed to meet the needs of the individual student and prepare them for life, and how the movement can be sustainable in the future.

The Office of STEAM Innovation is excited to continue working with our students to re-envision the student experience to ensure our graduates are prepared for careers and opportunities aligned with their strengths, interests, and values!

We want to thank the San Diego Workforce Partnership for hosting this event and sharing emerging opportunities in San Diego's world of work with our students. Check out their latest research https://workforce.org/reports/
