The High School program dives deeper into post-secondary goal setting and goal achievement through mentoring, career and college readiness, community-based learning, advocacy, and activism. Our program focuses on identifying “sparks”, which are students’ self-identified passions that catalyze personal growth, as well as building and achieving a plan for post-secondary pursuits.
Senior Signing Day is an event inspired from Michelle Obama's initiative, Reach Higher. The day is all about recognizing our seniors who have made a decision to do something after high school. Students had either declared that they are going into the military and/or that they will be going to a community college/trade school/technical school/college/university. The National Decision Day to declare what you are doing after high school was May 1, 2017 and our Reynolds Senior Signing Day was just before, on April 25th, 2017.
Senior Awards Night, held on June 7, 2017 showcased our seniors who have received institutional scholarships, outside scholarships, awards, and admission into a college or university. Students had to show proof of acceptance into a postsecondary school and proof that they were a recipient of an award/scholarship prior to the event. These exceptional students pulled in a grand total of $9,318,516 in scholarship dollars, one of the most impressive amounts ever at Reynolds High School.
