Madison High School Administration and Staff

Under Oregon law, students cannot be required to pay a fee for classes that are part of the regular school program. However, in some instances, you may be asked to make a contribution for certain classes where additional learning materials enable the school to expand and enrich those classes. Certain science lab expenses and art class supplies are examples of classes where your contribution can make a difference in the quality of the class. You are not required to pay the requested contribution in order to enroll in the class. Grant is only able to offer these enhanced learning opportunities for students because of your support and contributions. We appreciate your commitment to our instructional program and the success of our students. In some instances, Oregon law does allow school districts to charge a required fee or deposit. For instance, fees can be required for optional field trips, extracurricular activities, the use of musical instruments, gym clothes when the student does not furnish their own, and other non-instructional expenses. The school may also require a deposit for a lock or locker. The Student Fee and Contribution Form will provide you with more information about specific fees and contribution options for Grant High School. Portland Public Schools recognizes the diversity and worth of all individuals and groups and their roles in society. All individuals and groups shall be treated with fairness in all activities, programs and operations, without regard to age, color, creed, disability, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation.

Graduation REQUIREMENTS The Portland Public School District’s High School course guides offer all students a pathway to success.

lobal competition and technological change are raising the bar for the level of education that Oregon’s citizens need to be successful and prosperous. Most newly created jobs demand higher skills than in the past, and the skill requirements of existing jobs continue to rise! Students must acquire increased academic competencies, advanced technical skills, and greater problem solving abilities in order to become productive citizens in a highly competitive global economy.

In May 2005, the Portland School Board approved a more rigorous set of graduation requirements to meet increased state requirements and to ensure that all graduates would be prepared for postsecondary options. The combination of increased academic expectations and individual student plans that reflect individual student interests and focus on postsecondary learning outcomes are key elements of the new requirements. All Portland high school students will have the opportunity to complete a set of

graduation requirements that enable them to develop their intellectual and personal potential for a lifetime of learning. Through completion of a four-year sequence of academic and focused Pathway elective options, students will acquire the academic foundation and career-related skills that will prepare them to graduate from their PPS high school prepared for their chosen next step ... College Ready = Work Ready = Productive Citizenship.

AP ART STUDIO 2-D: (Painting, drawing, design, printmaking, photography) The AP Studio Art portfolios are designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art. AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios for evaluation at the end of the school year. AP Studio Art sets a national standard for performance in the visual arts that contributes to the significant role the arts play in academic environments. Each year the thousands of portfolios that are submitted in AP Studio Art are reviewed by college, university, and secondary school art instructors using rigorous standards. This College Board program provides the only national standard for performance in the visual arts that allows students to earn college credit and/or advanced placement while still in high school. The AP Program is based on the premise that college- level material can be taught successfully to secondary school students. It also offers teachers a professional development opportunity by inviting them to develop a course that will motivate students to perform at the college level. In essence, the AP Program is a cooperative endeavor that helps high school students complete college-level courses and permits colleges to evaluate, acknowledge, and encourage that accomplishment through the granting of appropriate credit and placement. Students will need to work outside the classroom, as well as in it, and beyond scheduled periods. Students should be considered responsible enough to leave the art room or school if an assignment requires them to do so, and homework, such as maintaining a sketchbook or a journal, is probably a necessary component of instruction. Critiques, a common structure in the college classroom, are important in AP as well. Group and individual critiques enable students to learn to analyze their own work and their peers’ work. Ongoing critical analysis, through individual critiques, enables both the students and the teacher to assess the strengths and weaknesses in the work. Where museums and galleries are accessible, teachers are encouraged to use them as extensions of school and to allot class time accordingly. In addition, art books, slides, and reproductions provide important examples for the serious study of art. Such references are invaluable in expanding students’ awareness of visual traditionscultural, historical, and stylistic. Prerequisite: 1. Earned "C" or "better in Advanced Art, Fine Art, Commercial Art, Ceramics/Sculpture, or Photography or teacher permission (based on student’s portfolio of work).

AP environmental 1-2: APES is a comprehensive course designed to cover the same material as an introductory college course in environmental science. We will primarily focus on scientific skills and content, but environmental science is interdisciplinary so also touches on politics, geography, and sociology. This is a lab-based course that fulfills a science lab requirement in college (if the student passes the AP exam) and prepares students for more advanced college-level environmental science courses. Given its relevance (ecology and biodiversity, human population, environmental health, climate change, fossil fuels and their alternatives, water quality and availability, deforestation, food and agriculture, and waste), it is recommended that every citizen of the world become educated about these issues. Therefore, welcome to a course that will prepare you for an important part of your future. Students complete college-level labs including constructing mini-ecosystems, toxicology, soil analysis, waste analysis, and measuring biodiversity. Field trips include: studying water quality on the Salmon River, Zenger Farm, and hybrid cars at Eco Motion.

They also learn about the methods and tools geographers use in their science and practice. Students will develop skills that enable them to use and think about maps and spatial data, understand and interpret the implications of associations among phenomena in places, and recognize and interpret at different scales the relationships among patterns and processes. The following topics will be covered in the course: Geography’s nature and perspectives, population, cultural patterns and processes, political organization of space, agricultural and rural land use, industrialization and economic development, and cities and urban land use.

NATURAL RESOURCES & PUBLIC POLICY: NRPP is a rigorous, highly relevant, participatory approach to becoming an informed and interested citizen within our society, accomplished through a study of local, state, national and global issues, be they economic, political or social. We use published articles, political cartoons, provocative quotations, in-class elections, debates and spirited discussions to supplement our high quality civics textbook. Within the course, all students learn to write investigative essays, using college level research techniques and MLA citation. Each student then produces four such original research papers, one per quarter. Additionally, students interact first-hand with politicians, public servants, activists, musicians and writers, who visit our classroom regularly as guest speakers. Past guests have included a Presidential candidate, a U.S Congressmen, City and County Commissioners, the State Treasurer and Secretary of State, and a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist among many others. Other project-based activities we engage in include the writing of one’s own political platform, the balancing of the Oregon state budget, and a year-end satire contest. Through NRPP, students earn required credit in Government and Economics. Prerequisite: Global Studies 1-2 & U.S. History 1-2.
