Mission Statement
Getting Students College Ready through Implementation of AVID Strategies!
Description
Granite Park Junior High serves a richly diverse population of students from over 40 countries, speaking over 60 languages. As an AVID National Demonstration Site of Distinction, we stand as the only school in the State of Utah to earn this distinction, demonstrating our school prepares students for the rigors of college. As a staff, we accomplish our mission statement of "Helping Students to Dream of College and Beyond" by embedding research-proven practices into each classroom, including Cornell Notes.
Our school strives to meet students where they are at academically, helping each student to achieve at least a year and a half of growth each school year. Students receive caring advisory teachers with who they see each day. At Granite Park, we create a safe, welcoming atmosphere for all students. Furthermore, students are rewarded for exemplary behavior, grades, and attendance through weekly student highlights, quarterly recognition assemblies, and other activities. Daily recognition of student efforts are facilitated through Grizz bucks: our school currency that is redeemable at a school store for prizes during lunches.
