SHS RENAISSANCE PROGRAM
Academic Parent Organization
Recognizing Students for Academic Achievements
This group is the high school version of "PTO" that many of you have participated in during your child's years in elementary and middle school. Renaissance does not have a membership fee. We accept donations and conduct fundraisers. All donations are tax deductible.
Renaissance and Statesville High need you!! It truly is a myth that your student does not want you involved. Please let us know how you can be of help and in turn how we can help you and your student.
What is Renaissance?
Renaissance is the only national education focused program created to recognize and reward the academic achievements of students. Its primary goal is to increase student performance, help maintain teacher enthusiasm and raise the level of community participation in schools.
Renaissance rewards students who qualify each report card period with prizes for their academic achievements.
Seniors qualifying for Renaissance are recognized at their Senior Assembly in May; these Seniors are also recognized during graduation by wearing a special Renaissance stole to symbolize their academic achievements while at SHS.
Students are recognized each 9 weeks with a prize. At the end of the school year students are rewarded with a rock concert and a t-shirt.
Students who succeed have parents who are involved in their education.
Levels of Student Achievement Students are recognized at three levels: Gold, Silver, and Bronze.
Gold | A student must earn all A's (93 average or better/min. 90 in AP classes) in each subject with no discipline referrals. |
Silver | A student must earn an overall A average (93 average/min. 80 in AP classes) with no grade below an 85. The student must have no more than three absences and no discipline referrals. |
Bronze | A student must earn an overall B average (85 average) with no grade below an 80. A student can qualify by improving seven or more points (to a 70 or better) in two classes while failing no other classes. The student must have no more than four absences and no discipline referrals. |
*Students with FIVE or more total tardies in a nine-week period will be disqualified for Renaissance recognition for that nine-week period.
*Students disciplined for cheating will automatically be disqualified for those nine weeks.
