The Guiding Vision of Helix
Helix Charter High School
will provide all students the tools and environment to become
highly skilled, productive members of society, as well as self-directed
learners.
Helix Charter Governing Board
A seven member Governing Board, consisting of
parents, staff and community members, is empowered to make school
wide policy decisions. School wide policy includes, but is not
limited to: graduation requirements, admission standards, attendance
policies, school calendar, general and fiscal oversight and annual
budget approval. Moreover, the Helix Governing Board is also responsible
for appointing, evaluating, compensating and, when necessary,
replacing the Principal.
The Helix Governing Board consists of seven voting
members. The voting members are:
4 Staff Members (1 Classified Staff Member
elected by the Classified Staff, 3 Certificated Staff Members
elected by the Certificated Staff)
3 Parent/Community Members (1 President
of the PTSA, 1 parent elected at-large by the PTSA, and 1 community
member not employed by the school, appointed by the Chairperson
of the Helix Governing Board from a slate of nominees)
The following non-voting Representatives to
the Helix Governing Board are expected to attend and participate
in every Helix Governing Board meeting:
The school Principal and the entire
Management Team
2 Students elected by the Student Council
The Five Fundamental Principles
1. All students are
connected to school and learning through greater personalization
and interactions among peers and adults.
2. All students are
active learners; all teachers are facilitators of student learning.
3. All students demonstrate
powerful learning through the production of significant work;
all teachers design powerful curriculum.
4. All students,
through interdisciplinary work, transfer knowledge to real-world
situations.
5. All students achieve
and stay in school because they see a connection between school
work and the world of work.
