Creating a College Going Culture

The feeling of a successful future is pervasive at Edison Senior High School! While College Summit is in full force with peer leaders at the helm (with the guidance of Mr. Rosas) and the ACT/SAT teachers are cultivating test-taking awareness, other teachers throughout the school are doing their part to enstill a sense of "the best is yet to be" for all of our students, regardless of grade or academic level. 

In Ms. Davis' classroom, she has posted a tangible reminder of that which is an abstract concept for many young people--- college graduation. Ms. Davis has her own graduation gown, with sorority representation, on the wall directly above her desk.  

This feeling of college readiness is also evident through the big goal posted in Mr. Bernal's class. In posting this, he is reminding his students each day the purpose behind all of their lessons and hard work-- Being COLLEGE READY!

To expose students to the different colleges that they can potentially attend, Ms. Edwards has created signs that show where each of the faculty went to school and a statement of the best part of college for them. 

In Mr. Mendez's Freshman Foundations class, he is getting the youngest students in the mindset of starting now to plan for college. Across his back wall, many top notch colleges are posted in color and he references them regularly to build excitement and awareness. 

In each hallway in the building, a sign is posted above the entrance with a reference to a Florida college, bringing even more attention to the possibilites of college after high school.
