School-wide Academic, Civic, and Social Expectations

The Tourtellotte Memorial High School community has identified and adopted five learning expectations and a civic and social expectation with performance indicators, which support the accomplishment of the school's mission. They are supported by the school's statement of academic expectations established by all departments in the school. Student achievement for each learning expectation is assessed using a rubric. A rating of proficient or higher is part of the graduation competencies at Tourtellotte Memorial High School.
