School Profile

 

What is Henderson Bay? We are a small setting serving students in the Peninsula School District. We are a school of choice, meaning anyone can choose to come to Henderson Bay.

What makes Henderson Bay different? The large schools have about 1400 students. We have about 120. The large schools use a 6 period day. We have a 4 period day with a daily advisory. We have quarterly grades vs semesters, meaning a student can earn 8 credits in a year instead of 6 at the larger schools.

Due to our size we are able to build strong relationships with students, getting to know their strengths, their needs, their goals and their obstacles. We strive to create a family atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and able to thrive.

Is it hard to get into Henderson Bay? Our goal is to enroll every student that wants to come here. First, we check with your current school on academics, attendance and behaviors to ensure we are a good fit.

 

Henderson Bay High School Commitments

EMPOWERED*EMPATHETIC*EXCELLENT

At Henderson Bay, we strive to build an empowered, empathetic and excellent community of learners. How we engage with each other every day and the actions we take determine how strong and positive this community is. When I accept enrollment at Henderson Bay I commit to:

  • Treat all members of the school community with respect and dignity.
  • Attend school every day, do the best I can & participate to the best of my ability. Target- attend 90% of school days or more.
  •  Be an active and productive member of my advisory. Advisory is an essential part of our school culture. 
  • Maintain academic progress earning at least 1 credit per quarter (passing at least two classes).
  • Seek resolution to conflicts rather than fan the flames of discord.
  • Make choices that promote a healthy lifestyle and positive learning environment. 
  • Manage my time and space, avoid distracting behaviors and focus on the work at hand. Be on time to class and work to the end. Limit hall passes and use them appropriately.
  • Face challenges- personal and academic- head on, asking for help when needed.
  • Use electronics appropriately. This includes how I use devices for learning AND for communicating with others. No cell phones during class time.
  • Dress appropriately for the school environment.
  • Follow all school and district rules.
