State of Huntington High School 2020-2021

Strategic Plan:
Mission/Vision
CONTACTS Our school believes that every student has the ability to succeed as well as the right to receive a high-quality
education. For us, this means that we need to put supports in place for students who are struggling or who are
Dan Gleason below level, as well as providing enrichment opportunities for those students who could benefit from them. By
Principal focusing this year on the foundational elements of improving ELA and Math skills and providing professional
304-528-6410 development and support to assist our teachers in developing and participating in Collaborative Teaming, we
believe that we are building a strong foundation for continued success. 
Rob Archer
Associate Principal What to celebrate this year:
304-528-6408 The work of our teachers and staff cannot be discounted this year. Our teachers have fundamentally changed
the way that they deliver instruction and engage their students. Likewise, many of our students have shown
Travis Austin resilience and flexibility beyond their years as they too have had to adapt to a completely new model of
Assistant Principal instruction and learning. The work of our Technology Department, SYSOP, and those who have assisted with
304-528-6413 device deployment, paperwork, trouble-shooting, and more have made a difficult situation much more doable
by getting quality technology into the hands of each and every student who needed it.

Assistant Principal Scaled Score Benchmarks are developed by WVDE. It is also important to note that the testing groups for each
304-528-6412 of these assessments are voluntary testers. As such, the data can be skewed due to not having a truly
representative sample.

Curricular Focus
The focus of our building is increasing proficiency in Math and English. In the Math Dept., teachers are
utilizing the program ALEKs to address student deficits and provide practice. In the English Dept, teachers are
incorporating elements of the 180 days concept, which increases skills through focused efforts on daily reading
and writing.
PLCs/Leadership Team
Prior to most recent Blended Model, our staff members were meeting in Department groups on biweekly
Wednesday mornings for 45 minutes to collaborate and work together to share best practice for addressing the
needs of our students in this incredible year.
Our Leadership Team meets bi-weekly to identify, discuss, and work to provide solutions for issues within the
building. This year, we have focused mainly on streamlining the processes in the building pertaining to the
delivery of instruction and monitoring of students to in order to best meet the needs of both staff and students.
Current Culture and Climate of the School
All things considered, the climate is okay, but, issues of isolation due to Covid make the relational aspect of
education & teaching very difficult. Staff and students are experiencing fatigue with entire situation… simply
put, they’re exhausted; even the typical daily activities, interactions, & expectations sometimes seem like too
much.
