Welcome to the Jungle!
2012-2013
SLHS School Improvement
Goals
South Lyon High School
established the following goals as part of our AdvancED
process.
These goals were developed by
surveying teachers, as well as by reviewing both MEAP and classroom assessment data. The
three goals that we will
focus on during this process are:
- All students will be proficient in reading
comprehension when engaged in both narrative and expository text.
- All students will be proficient in mathematics
reasoning and fluency.
- All students will be proficient in writing.
Who We Are…
South Lyon High School is a
comprehensive secondary school that is home to nearly 1,250 students in grades
nine through twelve.
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. Community groups make
use of our facilities year-round for meetings and major events.
Where We Are…
Located in the
southwestern corner of Oakland County, Michigan, South Lyon has seen two decades
of explosive population growth as commuters employed in the Detroit suburbs and
nearby Ann Arbor seek affordable housing paired with excellent schools. The area
is convenient to expressways and benefits from the advantages offered by several
nearby colleges and world class universities.
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…
Our curriculum is aligned with the
Michigan Merit Curriculum and Michigan Career Pathways. Our course offerings
include traditional college preparatory courses, dual enrollment opportunities,
independent study and award-winning programs in the fine, performing & technical
arts.
We offer two Honors English courses and 12 Advanced Placement Courses in
English, Calculus AB, Statistics, Biology, Chemistry,
Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, American History, European History,
Physics, and American Government.
Our technology department prepares students for certification testing by
Microsoft, Cisco and CompTIA. We also offer OTC (Oakland Technical Center)
which offers 14 different technology programs located in nearby Wixom. Students
from SHLS are enrolled at the Southwest Campus. Juniors and Seniors spend half
of each school day there studying in a specific program of their choice.
Click on link to see all the programs they offer.
OTC
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…
The Graduating Class of 2011 averaged: - ACT Composite Score 21.7
Our teachers use a variety of methods to facilitate
learning, including differentiated instruction. 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 AdvancED
standards – a distinction we have maintained since 1972
which allows for a
continuing process of self-improvement and evaluation.
