12th Grade Senior Model
The 12th Grade Senior Model provides students with the type of experiences they will encounter in college or at a job placement. The 12th Grade Model has the following components:
- Lecture—(10% of a student’s time throughout the week)
- Seminars—(40% of a student’s time throughout the week)
- Study Groups—(20% of a student’s time throughout the week)
- Independent Work—(30% of a student’s time throughout the week)

INDEPENDENT WORK
Every student is assigned to a Learning Hub to complete assignments and manage independent work. This requires a high level of maturity, planning, and effort. To support this growth, students receive a weekly Independent Learning (IL) grade, which—together with a Workforce grade—forms a total of 100 points per week (70% IL, 30% Workforce).
Expectations for seniors include:
- Reporting on time to Learning Hubs, seminars, lectures, and study groups.
- Using the Work Tracker to plan assignments, create timelines, and schedule when to seek teacher support or collaborate in study groups.
- Staying focused and respecting others' work time in the Learning Hub.
- Working effectively with teachers, staff, and peers to maximize independent and study group time.
- Using available resources (Rounds and email) to stay on top of coursework.
- Coming prepared and engaged for all seminars.

City High Graduation
City High’s core beliefs highlight human relationships and student voice as foundations of a strong educational community. Our annual graduation ceremony displays these core beliefs in action by putting our graduates at the center of the celebration. Two student emcees lead the ceremony in its entirety, which features three student speakers, performances by the City High Chorus, a student-created Senior Memories video montage, and a keynote address by a faculty member selected by the graduates. The event blends tradition and professionalism while also showcasing each graduating class’s unique personality and City High journey.
