Enumclaw High School Presentation: II BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Stanwood welcomed Mr. Lee and his Enumclaw High School administrative team to present a condensed version of their work study presentation. Inclement weather was cause for cancellation of the originally scheduled work study on February 4 th, and the rescheduled work study of February 11 th. Mr. Lee s presentation was centered on the high school s conscious effort to identify core values to create a guide for achieving cultural goals. Creating these values is the first step in implementing the district s theory of action: If we are relentless in our pursuit of creating schools that engage students in learning that is authentic, deep, irresistible and exciting, then we will succeed in preparing all students for success in the innovation era and success in life. In transitioning to a brand new building, the administrative team prioritized the social and emotional learning of students, by creating a sense of community and acceptance to support and promote a safe place for student engagement. Assistant Principal, Paul Iacobazzi, took a small team of staff members to a Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) training during which they learned creating values in a system cannot be driven or led by administration, the effort must be driven and led by students. So in the fall, students were asked to come up with core values of Enumclaw High School. Staff was asked to do the same. The leadership students then combined those values and came up with a list of six values they believed to be most important: acceptance, teamwork, honesty, leadership, responsibility and dedication.

2 The last six months of the school year have been scheduled to encompass each of the six core values as a theme for a month. January was focused on acceptance and featured an assembly to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The year will end in June and focus on dedication. The high school has also implemented a new option for core/choice time, featuring different staff members presenting Buzz Talks, which are the Enumclaw High School version of the popular TED Talks. These presentations have included topics on truth and listening. Assistant Principal and Athletic Director, Phil Engebretsen, shared how the high school has worked to integrate their values into athletics, activities, and throughout the entire high school system. Creating a set of values has sparked a new branding movement for the high school and you can find the values printed on t-shirts, banners, clubs and athletics materials and even displayed on different signage in classrooms. Mr. Lee ended the presentation by thanking the board and inviting all members to tour classrooms and see the Enumclaw High School values put into action. The board was able to ask questions. Student representative, Emma Murphy, was able to chime in with her interpretation of the high school values and how the new building has promoted a sense of community that was missing during the period of construction. Shared learning spaces were discussed and the use of out of the ordinary furniture pieces to enhance student learning and connection. B. Good News of the District: Mrs. Watterson exclaimed how great it was to have school today! Because of a winter storm and the scheduled mid-winter break, much of the previous two weeks were not spent in school. Emma Murphy discussed the high school choir s mid-winter break trip to California and Disneyland. She said that it was great to get out of the rain and snow for a bit! Mrs. McGann added that the choir did a wonderful job and she enjoys watching the Facebook live recordings of the choir performances. Mrs. McGann noted that she and Mrs. Watterson attended the annual audit review and Enumclaw received praise from the audit team. Mrs. McGann thanked Mr. Hatzenbeler and his team for their hard work. Mr. Gamblin thanked the district for all of the work done during the recent snow storms, from getting up early and traveling to check road conditions, to shoveling snow. He stated he was very appreciative of the work done to keep students and staff safe. Mrs. McGann, Mrs. Merrill and Mr. Nelson attended a safety meeting at the ESD in Renton last month. Mrs. McGann noted it was a great night to collaborate and learn with other districts. The team met the SRO from the Renton School District and listened to his presentation on building culture and relationships with students.
