From The Principal 
In early May, Stevenson High School was notified that for the second year in a row our school received the GreatSchools.org’ College Success Award!
I am proud that Stevenson has received the GreatSchools.org’ 2019 College Success Award!
The College Success Award recognizes and celebrates high schools like ours that go beyond simply getting our students to graduation and also focus on ensuring students are prepared to succeed in college.
Stevenson is one of 1,722 schools in 25 states across the country to be honored with the Award, which is based on data about how our school prepares students to succeed after high school, including whether they enroll in college, are ready for college-level coursework when they get there, and persist into their second year.
This recognition comes after Bridge Magazine named Stevenson High School an Academic State Champ on April 17. Stevenson was the 6th best school in the middle to upper income school category (25%-40% of students on free or reduced lunch). Placement is determined by the percentage of graduates attending college. We had 81.9% of last year’s graduates attend a two or four year institution. Stevenson was the largest school on the list with 583 graduates last year. The next largest school had 278. Therefore, Stevenson had the most students of the named schools in college.
Also in early May, U.S. News and World Report notified Stevenson High School that they were recognizing our school as one of the best in the nation. U.S. News and World Report ranked schools by college readiness, reading and math proficiency, reading and math performance, underserved student performance, college curriculum breadth and graduation rates. Stevenson’s ranking places us in the top 9% of secondary institutions in the United States.
I applaud the hard work of the entire Stevenson community—including students, parents, teachers, and others that aspire to help our students succeed.
It seems very appropriate that these recognitions come out right before staff appreciation week. Thank you Teachers and Staff for a job well done!
With Titan Pride,
Steven Pfannes
