<\/a>Mission Statement<\/strong><\/h3>\n

“Every Child Matters.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mission of Reuther Central High School, a safe and caring learning community, is to inspire students to graduate and become productive members of society, by supporting them to create and pursue their dreams.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Program Descriptions<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Blended Learning <\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n

Blended Learning will provide classes that are different than the traditional lecture and homework courses.\u00a0 This model will provide each student a chance to work on their curriculum at their level<\/u> and at their pace<\/u>.\u00a0 Each student will be reviewed based on their credit needs and given a schedule that supports their work toward graduation.\u00a0 Blended Learning uses a combination of online class work (done in class or at home) with face to face instruction by the teacher.\u00a0 All courses are regular KUSD courses, and your child would earn the same diploma as they would at any other high school in the district.<\/p>\n

The Adult Learning Lab<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kenosha Unified School District has developed requirements for the issuance of an Equivalency KUSD high School Diploma for eligible students.\u00a0 An adult program for all 18 year old students is housed at Reuther High School.<\/p>\n

Eligible students, (1) are\/will be 18 before the next test date, (2) are a resident of the Kenosha Unified School District, and (3) are a member of a District cohort group.\u00a0 Reuther students who are 17 in the quarter of the test during their senior cohort year may also be eligible for this option.<\/p>\n

To pursue this diploma option, students must complete an employability component and a writing component, and they must have earned credit in the following course:\u00a0 Personal Finance\/Economics, Health, and Government & Politics.<\/p>\n

If eligible students pass the ITED Test and complete all other requirements, they will graduate with an Equivalency KUSD High School Diploma and be allowed to participate in the Equivalency Diploma graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n

You should be aware that the Equivalency KUSD High School Diploma might not be acceptable for entry into all institutions of higher education or all branches of the military.\u00a0 It is accepted by all local colleges.\u00a0 You should also understand that some apprenticeship programs will not accept an Equivalency Diploma.\u00a0 It is the responsibility of the student to determine whether or not his\/her future plans will be adversely affected by choosing an Equivalency Diploma option.<\/p>\n

The Transition Program<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Transition Program is designed to reengage struggling regular education students.\u00a0 It targets students with health issues that have prevented them from attending a traditional high school program.\u00a0 Homebound students may be placed in Transition prior to being returned to a tradition schedule.\u00a0 Transition provided a curriculum that allows student to earn credits at an accelerated pace.<\/p>\n
