- Mission statement
-
To educate all students to become skillful learners and responsible, productive citizens.
- This mission statement has been in place since 2004.
- Three weeks were taken for the Principal, Vice-Principal, Dean of Discipline, SG, and the head guidance counselor along with a board of students, representing the best and brightest, to come up with this statement. Every word of the statement was analyzed so other students and teachers could use it effectively.
- The mission statement is expected to be memorized by all students at Mt.Hope High School.
- Students must relate every piece of work that goes into digital portfolios to the school's mission statement.
- History
-
Mt. Hope High School was founded in September 1993, when Warren High School and Bristol High School merged. During this time, both the Bristol and Warren Regional Districts were becoming combined.
- The mission statement was also created by a student council where the best performing students from the school came up with the statement. Every word was analyzed and made the process take a while.
- Curriculum
- Graduation requirements
-
Mt. Hope High has established a set of academic, social, and civic regulations known as the "Proficiency-Based Graduation Requirements." These academic expectations include listening, speaking, reading, writing, and problem-solving effectively. Each student must score a grade of "Proficient" or higher. These regulations tie in with the new diploma system of the school; any student graduating in 2008 or later must average a score of "Proficient" in all the rubrics to be able to officially graduate Mt. Hope High School.They also have to create a digital portfolio, which is an online showcase of the student's best work. The digital portfolio has been known amongst students to be largely ineffective; demonstrating nothing of value. Multiple unorganized attempts at forming a petition to abolish the digital portfolios have been staged and abandoned.
