Part G Highland Tech High Student Contract Core Values Highland Tech High maintains a culture of Core Values including Leadership, responsibility to culture and community, Ethics, hard work and cooperation, and Integrity, humility and respect for others. Ultimately, HTH aims to have its students become self-motivated, competent, lifelong learners, prepared to contribute positively to our society. C-O-R-E At Highland Tech High, we have a “Culture of Respect for Everyone” (CORE) philosophy. Everyone, including students, teachers and parents, will respect others with appropriate language, respect other’s space and belongings and the property at HTH. Adults and students will make every reasonable attempt to work with students who exhibit behavior problems or disruptive behaviors. However, if behavioral problems persist, or if a student has a discipline problem severe enough to warrant a referral to the office, the staff will make contact with a parent/guardian to inform them of the disciplinary problems and request that actions be taken to correct the situation. All disciplinary consequences will be in accordance with HTH and ASD school policies. Appearance Standards – Dress Code Business Casual is the term used for attire worn at Highland. Students will have many opportunities to present themselves to the business and professional community so each should be dressed as if they were going to work or introducing themselves for a job interview. There will be opportunities for students to dress differently or more casual, depending on the particular environment in which they are participating. However, on a daily basis, students should look appropriate for business environment. Acknowledgment of Philosophy It is our intent that all Highland students and parents understand the nature of education offered at HTH. Highland Tech High is an alternative opportunity to ASD’s regular junior and senior high schools. Expectations you have of a school may not apply at Highland. It is in this spirit that we ask parents and students to read and discuss the Highland philosophy, the CORE Standards, and the Appearance Standards. I further understand that if, during my tenure at Highland, I violate these standards, I may lose the opportunity to continue my education at Highland Tech High. I have an understanding of Highland’s philosophy and believe that Highland will be the best educational setting for me.
