Eagle Renaissance

COORDINATOR - Shari Tindall

The Eagle Renaissance Program was initiated in the 1992 93 school-year specifically to improve the overall attitudes and achievement of our students, staff, and community. Since that initial start, the National Renaissance Education Foundation has served as our contact agency for direction in overall program implementation and annual program improvement. The foundation's model calls for community effort as a way of helping students achieve excellence in learning.

As per the guidelines set forth in the original program development, Eagle Renaissance borrows the incentive/reward system used by the world of business and industry, which emphasizes academic excellence, motivation, and school pride. It is built through the use of building and community based programs of incentive and recognition.

The Eagle Renaissance Program includes:

	Setting an expectation for achievement while stressing good attitude.
	Providing incentives and rewards that build self esteem and satisfaction with self and school.
	Spotlighting scholastic achievement and improvement while emphasizing appropriate student behavior and responsibility.
	Recognizing and rewarding students, teachers and community members for positive performance.
	Incorporating Renaissance in the development of a high quality, positive student handbook, designed for student usefulness and promotion of school pride within students and staff. Our program has continued to grow, is now recognized as a model program in the state, and has received nation wide attention on several occasions. School officials routinely showcase our program in state and regional conferences, as well as continually assist other schools in the development of similar incentive and recognition programs.

MANAGEMENT TEAM

A management team, as shown below, can be implemented on short notice by the coordinator and the high school principal. Original core team members who are still in the community may be selected to serve again, but are always welcome to give input at a management team meeting. Eagle Renaissance belongs to the school and the community, and it is important that the program maintain the close relationship that has existed from the start.

Management team members consist of the following members: Coordinator, the High School Principal, one Teacher, one School Board Member, one Student Council Member, one Parent, and one Chamber of Commerce Member.

WHEN DO YOU GET THE REWARDS YOU EARN?

A schedule for each quarter of the school year is available from the coordinator. The schedule tells you the date that each reward is available to you. A list of those businesses and the reward they are offering is available from the coordinator and posted in the office window.

Open campus requires a release form with a parental/guardian signature each quarter. It is your responsibility to obtain a form from the Renaissance Coordinator, have it signed and returned prior to the week scheduled for open campus.

Your ACT refund will be paid once during High School after we receive results of your ACT test. Remember, only �Gold Card� holders are eligible for an ACT refund. In addition to the cards students earn quarterly, there are other student rewards that can be earned. Drawings from downtown sponsors for Gift Certificates and Free Lunches will be held quarterly.
