Meet Our Education Team

Our Faculty and Staff are committed to the City High Mission.

At City High, we support an academic culture of professionalism that prepares students to succeed in their post high-school paths to college, a job, an apprenticeship, a specialized skill or trade school. This requires progressive teachers, a team of transition professionals, supporting couselors, and a more personalized approach.

Competency-Based Staff Promotion

Competency-based compensation was built into City High’s original design to define expectations and incentives for continuous improvement and broad ownership of the school’s mission. In addition to that overarching goal, evaluation research conducted throughout the school’s existence suggests that a competency-based approach to compensation and promotion yields benefits for City High.

This approach:
  • Encourages teachers to make a long-term commitment to the school
  • Maintains the focus on growth and development
  • Creates an ongoing dialogue between administrators and teachers
  • Inspires teachers to be more reflective about their practice
  • Fosters teacher professionalism
