17 What is a pathway? A college and career oriented community that is industry focused and provides a lens for student learning.

18 Why pathways at PHS? All PHS Ninth Graders are in a Poudre Pathway and have a cohort schedule with: Technical Core Freshman Seminar MYP World History/Geography 1 MYP English 9 MYP 21st Century Science Lab Some students are very successful and have well-designed 5 year plans 19% of seniors graduate with an IB Diploma 3% of seniors graduated from the Arts Academy 5% of seniors graduated from our Service Learning Academy So if a Pathway, learning within a context, and having a “family of peers with similar interests” are good for some kids, wouldn’t it be good for all?

19 Why pathways at PHS? As of October 1, 2016, 70% of PHS Freshmen reported feeling like they are part of a smaller learning community 40% FEWER failing grades than one year ago Highest freshmen attendance in six years Highest “student involvement outside of class” in 4 years 25 Career Cab trips taken or scheduled for
