-Steller Secondary School Strategic Plan 2006 <\/em><\/p>\n

Steller Secondary is a unique educational setting within the Anchorage School District.\u00c2\u00a0 Unfettered by the confines of our physical building, our students are able to work with parents, advisors and teachers to take full advantage of learning opportunities throughout the community.\u00c2\u00a0 Rarely do our students hear the words \u00e2\u20ac\u0153oh, you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do that here\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.\u00c2\u00a0 Advisors work hard to help students pursue their interests and to earn credits toward graduation in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n

Many Steller students have chosen to enhance their learning by taking courses offered at other schools, including AP coursework or advanced music study at neighboring high schools, mathematics beyond Calculus at local universities and participation in the APU Early Honors Program.\u00c2\u00a0 Steller has been represented at APU since the first year of its program and this year we have four seniors enrolled there.<\/p>\n

Our juniors and seniors taking part in the ASD\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Gifted Mentorship Program are scattered throughout the Anchorage community in a variety of mentorships from Yoga as Therapy<\/em> to ER Medicine<\/em> with professions and artisans from many fields of interest. \u00c2\u00a0 This up-close and personal look at the realities of career life has helped many students decide whether to pursue their interest beyond Steller and to make valuable contacts in the community.<\/p>\n

Here on campus students have taken the initiative to form the Steller Ecological Society to steward the Steller Peace Garden through it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s growing season!\u00c2\u00a0 The Society worked over the summer to maintain the garden, harvested the bounty, set up sales at local farmers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 markets and donated proceeds to Kid\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Kitchen.\u00c2\u00a0 The Saturday Market Blue Ribbon for the Purple Vegetable contest resides at Steller!\u00c2\u00a0 The Ecological Society is but one of many thriving \u00e2\u20ac\u0153clubs\u00e2\u20ac\u009d here on campus.<\/p>\n

Students stretch in so many ways as a result of being a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Steller\u00e2\u20ac\u009d student; we have fun, successful, educational peer taught classes; we have peer coaches in math, Spanish, and other disciplines where students volunteer their time during lunch and period 7 to assist classmates with their studies; and our 8th<\/sup> grade seminar program relies heavily on student coaches who work closely with their charges and model a love of learning that inspires.<\/p>\n

Here at Steller we can<\/em> and we do<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
