High School Board Report - Tamra Jackson

Bridgeport High School continues to promote student growth through data-driven practices and meaningful learning experiences. In October, 9th and 10th graders completed the NWEA assessments, and student-led conferences are scheduled for the end of the first quarter. The school expanded rigorous opportunities by articulating Mr. Miller-Poole’s Medical Terminology class with WVC for college credit eligibility and advancing Mrs. Jamison’s Animal Barn project. Community partnerships were strengthened through college and military visits, senior cap and gown orders, and Homecoming Week activities. A positive school culture remains a focus, with 21 juniors and seniors scheduled to take the in-school SAT on October 29th.
