Gunn will be part of the Challenge Success Consortium in the 2020-21 school year.

We will be changing the narrative/school climate and structure at Gunn. Last time we were part of Challenge Success the team:

• Shared Challenge Success school survey data with parents and faculty
• Implemented schoolwide wellness and SEL campaigns and curriculum 
• Expanded student wellness clubs and leadership opportunities including ROCK, flextime yoga, student wellness committee and commissioner, …
• Hosted student fishbowls and feedback sessions to encourage conversations between students and staff
• Worked on Districtwide homework policies to reduce load and increase engagement
• Explored opportunities to alleviate test and assignment stacking
• Worked on standards-based grading practices
• Implemented block schedule with weekly flextime to enable students to self-manage homework/study schedule 
• Implemented later start times (since 2017), and blended learning classes
• Held career exploration day to broaden students’ definition of success
• Held post-secondary GAP year/community college fair

This time, we hope to work on similar large projects. Stay tuned!
