Howell High School Makes Adequate
Yearly Progress (AYP)
With great pride and pleasure, Howell Public Schools is pleased
to announce that Howell High School has made AYP for the first time in 3 years!
Adequate Yearly
Progress (AYP) measures year-to-year student achievement on the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) for elementary
and middle schools, or the Michigan Merit Examination (MME) for high schools. Other indicators, such as the number of students
who participate in the assessments and graduation rate for high schools, are also considered in the calculation.
Howell's incredible focus on supporting and improving academic achievement has paid off. It has taken the combined
efforts of our High School Administrative team, our Special Education director, our Executive cabinet and the efforts of all
of our teachers and ancillary staff members at the high school to pull off this nearly impossible task - but the payoff has
happened in less than one year.
"High School Principal Aaron Moran and his administrative
team provided the focus, and led the teaching staff in creating interventions to help improve academic achievement. Our Howell
High School staff deserves credit for all of the hard work they expended on behalf of our students," said Superintendent
Theodore J. Gardella.
