Congratulations to the graduating class of 2018! Graduation is certainly one of those achievements in life which one should be proud of. We wish you all the best on your future endeavors!

We are proud of what the students accomplished this year and appreciate the effort and support from parents/guardians, the staff, and the community. Our focus at ETHS was empowering students through promoting student choice and voice within the curriculum. We continue to focus on personalized learning and embedding the 5 C’s: Creativity, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, and Content in the daily work of the students. Personalized learning will remain at the forefront of our discussions as well as providing a year plus academic growth for all students.

As we continue to restructure learning, the first day of school next year will look different for students. All students will attend the first day and have structured activities focused around college and career planning, community service, and team building. More information will be sent via email to families regarding the first day as the school year approaches. We are looking to provide community-based experiences and foster real-world connections for students on the first day and will continue that focus throughout the year. We will follow the ACP, Academic and Career Planning, model to support students as they explore career pathways and post-secondary options utilizing Career Cruising and Inspire.

We’d like to thank the businesses that partnered with us this year to support student learning and will continue to reachout to build community connections. Please feel to contact us if your interested in participating in a Career Expo during the 2018-19 school year. We hosted a Trades Day this spring and partnered with businesses who generously provided students with information and resources on future careers. In addition, many business contributed to our curricular endeavors and enhanced the learning process for students. We cherish the community connections that have been built and will look to foster and continue them in the future.

We want to again congratulate the graduates of the Class of 2018 for their accomplishments! We looking forward to the 2018-19 school year and welcoming all students and their parents/guardians as we work together to create a personalized learning experience for your all students. Thank you for choosing East Troy High School, we sincerely appreciate being your school of choice. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

Best Regards,

Kevin Kitslaar and Stacey Kuehn, High School Co-Principals
