Senior ExperienceRemoving todayrsquos barriers to achieve tomorrowrsquos dream

At Homestead High School we have redesigned and restructured the school day and week to allow students to expe-rience a college class schedule with high school supports This experience allows students the opportunity to address barriers to post-secondary education while having the assistance and encouragement of both their families and the Homestead high School faculty The Senior Experience provides seniors more freedom and responsibility for their own education The flexibility provided by our Senior Experience allows for valuable learning opportunities not easily ob-tained when students are scheduled in classes all day Monday through Friday such as student initiated group collabora-tion one-on-one time with teachers internships work experiences and job shadowing Equally as important is that our Senior Experience allows students to develop life skills vital in the transition to not only post-secondary education but just life in general such as time management and working toward long-term goals It is our desire that participating in the Senior Experience will help our students confidently transition to post-secondary opportunities with the skills neces-sary to be successful

The Senior Experience also offers students the opportunity to reduce the repetition between required high school classes and college course work while potentially completing their general education courses before officially entering a universi-ty Research shows that students who earn college credit while in high school are more likely than their peers to not only pursue post-secondary education opportunities but to also complete their degree within two or four years Combine this fact with the opportunity to save hundreds if not thousands of dollars by taking transferable dual credit courses offered in the Senior Experience program and it is easy to see some the benefits of this program

Senior Experience Open Campus Permission

Every Friday our Senior Experience instructors will have office hours available for your student to schedule an appoint-ment when academic help is needed We encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity and to realize that the instructor is one of their most valuable resources Office hours may be the best way for your student to improve their understanding and success in class

Office hours can range from 745 until 1105 depending on the instructorrsquos schedule For example your student could possibly arrange to meet with an instructor from 800 until 900 and not have another class until 1111 leaving them with over two hours of free time before their next class We would like to offer your student the freedom to leave our building and go back home after their meeting before returning for their afternoon classes Your student has an extended open period in their schedule on many other scenarios

Additionally there may be other times during the course of the year when Senior Experience students might receive school permission to leave early because of altered schedules for which there is no logical reason to hold them

By signing up for these courses all Senior Experience students have been granted with the aforementioned open campus
