In Our Schools

Westerville City Schools has been steadily ramping up efforts to ensure all students have access to opportunities as well as strengthening ongoing initiatives.

Westerville City Schools is actively expanding and improving efforts to ensure all students have access to opportunities while continuously enriching and expanding ongoing initiatives.

 

 

During a Strategic Planning update, diversity and access to opportunities came up as major themes. The District created the Student Support and Success Program. This program has created and is responsible for programs that relate to accelerating student achievement in our District. Some examples include:

• Student Connections/Spirit Book Club - This initiative connects students to diverse literature, mentors and tutors, as well as creates opportunities to engage and address issues surrounding students’ social and emotional needs.  Students focus on creating pathways that connect them to careers and college opportunities, as well as increase their academic achievement.
   
• MODEL Mentoring - Mentors Opening Doors Enriching Lives is a middle school boys mentoring initiative that provides mentoring relationships with adult women in the Westerville community.  The program aims to increase students’ self-worth, improve perspective toward education, provide support and encouragement and ultimately increase school performance.
