Mission Statement South Lyon High School established the following goals several years ago as part of our NCA process:
These goals, in connection with the 7 AdvancED (formerly NCA) Standards, will be evaluated in January, 2010 during a visit by a Quality Assurance Review Team.
Who We Are… Facilities include a large media center/library, a guidance resource center, eight computer labs, technology in all classrooms, auditorium, lecture hall, career center, two triple gymnasia, pool and mirrored dance studio. WSLH broadcasts daily from our in-house television studio. Numerous athletic fields and the football stadium (aka “The Jungle”) all support our student athletes. SLHS is a community resource, as well, housing the Center for Active Adults and a laboratory nursery school for 3- and 4-year-olds. Community groups make use of our facilities year-round for meetings and major events. Where We Are… The South Lyon Community School District covers 83 square miles, including South Lyon and several smaller towns spread across three counties. The school district consists of two high schools, two middle schools, and seven elementary schools. What We Do… We offer two Honors English courses and 11 Advanced Placement Courses in English, Calculus (AB & BC), Statistics, Biology, Chemistry, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, American History, European History, and American Government. Our technology department prepares students for certification testing by Microsoft, Cisco and CompTIA. OTC enrolled students spend ½ of each day, at the Oakland Technical Center in nearby Walled Lake in 14 different technology programs. All students take the state-mandated Michigan Merit Examination (ACT, WorkKeys, & Subject Area Tests) in March of their junior year and compare favorably to their peers in neighboring districts. Assessment/Achievement…
Our teachers use a variety of methods to facilitate learning. Progress is evaluated using “authentic assessment” which allows students to demonstrate what they have learned. Our GPAs are based on a 4.00 scale and are not weighted. We are accredited by the North Central Association of Secondary Schools – a distinction we have maintained since 1972 with a continuing process of self-improvement and evaluation. Welcome to the Jungle!
