Lance Siebenahler, Assistant PrincipalSchool Narrative - School Overview Sioux Falls Jefferson High School will open its doors in the fall of 2021. As we prepare to open our doors, we have begun the work of casting a guiding purpose, developing cultural expectations, and setting academic expectations. We are a courageous community who competes for excellence on our journey of lifelong learning. As Cavaliers we believe: ● All means All ● People matter Most ● We will always Compete for Excellence Cavaliers are: Inclusive; Leaders; Competitors, and Generous. Cavaliers will actively utilize and respect learning spaces through the school and community. Display leadership and honor diversity through respectful collaboration and communication. Embrace challenges and advocate for themselves with perseverance, creativity, and critical thinking. Cavaliers will always give back to their community. Jefferson High School offers the Project Based Learning Academy and the Freshman Academy programs as some of the specialized learning opportunities for students. The Jefferson High School Project Based Learning Academy (formerly known as Sioux Falls New Tech High School) is part of the New Tech Network of schools based out of Napa, California. The New Tech Network pillars are Culture that Empowers, Teaching that Engages, Outcomes that Matter, and Technology that Enables. Learning is designed around problems or projects intended to engage students in meaningful project based learning experiences. Students are expected to master content and skills through the application of discovery learning and actively engaging in research. Community partners give of their time to share their expertise with students during the project, often offering feedback for improvement. Students are evaluated on their content knowledge and in four learning outcomes: Collaboration, Agency, and Oral and Written Communication. The projects work to challenge students to be directors of their own learning, developing deep critical thinking skills in content in addition to practicing essential 21st century skills. The Freshman Academy provides a team of teachers to teach students in core areas of English, math, and science. Goals of the Freshman Academy are for students to earn at least five credits to achieve sophomore status, and to become a member of an activity or club during the first year of high school to foster freshman success.
