Goodbye 2009!
Hello second semester! We are just about halfway through the year and our Project SUCCESS workshops at South High! The Fall brought with it creative writing, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, team games, discussions, college-book BINGO, storytelling, and, of course, some Common App speed dating! We’ve had numerous students utilizing the Thursday after school workshops in the Career and College Center, and we had two really big, really successful out of state college tours to Chicago, IL and Madison, WI.
As always, being at South High School is a great pleasure for us at Project SUCCESS, and we’d like to express our gratitude for the life, insight, and variety South students bring to every workshop and tour.
Thanks for being everything you are—let’s have an incredible 2010!
Alex, Pier, and everyone at Project SUCCESS
Project SUCCESS began serving South High in 2000 at the request of the school. The program began with a focus on the 9th grade classrooms. Today, we serve grades 9-12.
Project SUCCESS offers the following programming at South High:
-
in-class, goal-setting workshops;
-
opportunities for each student and their family to attend between six and twelve free theater performances at 27 area theaters;
-
weekly after-school workshops;
-
all school field trips; and
-
state and national college tours.
South High School provides their students with exemplary academic programs, a dynamic theater experience ranging from Shakespeare to new playwrights' productions, musical opportunities from jazz to classical styles and studies in the visual arts from traditional art forms of drawing, painting and ceramics to contemporary digital media.
Academic Programs: South is centered around three Small Learning Communities (SLCs): All Nations, Liberal Arts and Open. All of the SLCs provide preparation for college and other post-secondary opportunities.
