uozler-Llbbey Medlcal Plgh School opened lLs doors Lo 9
Lh
graders ln 2008 and
subsequenLly added a grade level each year unLll full enrollmenL ln 2012. lounded ln
response Lo overcrowdlng ln AnLloch unlfled School ulsLrlcL's Lwo comprehenslve hlgh
schools, Lhe SuperlnLendenL aL LhaL Llme saw an opporLunlLy Lo open a dlfferenL klnd of
school. Pe was lnLeresLed ln bulldlng a hlgh school LhaL had a career focus. Pe convened
communlLy leaders and buslness people Lo lnvesLlgaLe Lhe labor force needs and Lhey
dlscovered LhaL healLh care would have Lhe hlghesL employmenL posslblllLy and LhaL Lhe
land ad[acenL Lo Lhe space where Lhe new school would be bullL was golng Lo have a
medlcal faclllLy bullL on lL aL Lhe same Llme. 1he dlsLrlcL made Lhe declslon Lo open a
new small school wlLh a healLhcare focus. An advlsory commlLLee comprlsed of
Leachers, dlsLrlcL represenLaLlves, communlLy members, school founders and a CLC of
Lhe local hosplLal was formed Lo oversee Lhe school's developmenL.

ln 2008, Lhe AnLloch unlfled School ulsLrlcL applled Lo be a parL of Lhe Llnked Learnlng
lnlLlaLlve, a sLaLewlde dlsLrlcL lnlLlaLlve funded by Lhe !ames lrvlne loundaLlon, Lo
supporL Llnked Learnlng aLhways. Llnked Learnlng aLhways represenL an approach Lo
Lransformlng educaLlon by lnLegraLlng rlgorous academlcs wlLh career-based learnlng
and real world workplace experlences. uLMPS beneflLLed from Lhe dlsLrlcL's
parLlclpaLlon ln Lhe sLaLewlde lnlLlaLlve, galnlng access Lo resources from supporL
provlder ConnecLLd. uLMPS compleLed Lhe process and became [usL one of 28
paLhways ln Lhe sLaLe Lo be cerLlfled. 1he dlsLrlcL's appllcaLlon Lo be parL of Lhe
sLaLewlde lnlLlaLlve was due ln parL Lo whaL Lhey learned from uLMPS' lnlLlal successes.

uLMPS had been able Lo creaLe lLs own vlslon for Leachlng and learnlng and, for Lhe
mosL parL, had auLonomy over how Lhe vlslon was lmplemenLed. 5LudenL-cenLered
lnsLrucLlon aL uLMPS focuses on creaLlng auLhenLlc and rlgorous experlences for
sLudenLs. 8ellevlng ln Lhe poLenLlal of every sLudenL, prlnclpal and sLaff creaLed a
culLure of carlng and respecL beLween and among Leachers and sLudenLs. 1he vlslon
sLaLemenL reflecLs Lhese values: Lvery student va|ued, every student cha||enged, every
student prepared to succeed |n a chang|ng wor|d. SupporLed by Lhe relaLlonshlps wlLh
Lhelr Leachers and peers, sLudenLs Lake rlsks and push Lhemselves beyond whaL Lhey
LhoughL Lhey were capable of achlevlng. 1he school offers a rlgorous college preparaLory
currlculum LhaL exceeds LradlLlonal academlc lnsLrucLlon as sLudenLs engage ln hands-
on, applled and lnLerdlsclpllnary experlences conslsLenLly lnfused wlLh a healLhcare
focus. 1eachers' sLeadfasL commlLmenL Lo masLery raLher Lhan rlgldly followlng a paclng
gulde, coupled wlLh ln class supporLs for sLruggllng sLudenLs, ensures LhaL sLudenLs can
access and deeply undersLand Lhe currlculum.


All sLudenLs are prepared and encouraged Lo Lake Lhe coursework necessary Lo make
Lhem ellglble for Lhe unlverslLy of Callfornla sysLem. 98 of uLMPS graduaLes from Lhe
class of 2012 and 2013 wenL on Lo enroll ln college. 1he achlevemenLs of uLMPS
sLudenLs far exceed oLher slmllar sLudenLs ln Lhe dlsLrlcL and sLaLe on many measures.
uLMPS' sLrong sLudenL ouLcomes (referred Lo as Lhe school's vl1ALs) reflecL Lhe
relevanL, hands-on and lnLeracLlve sLyle of Leachlng LhaL engages sLudenLs and Lhe
sLrong commlLmenL LhaL Lhe sLaff makes Lo supporL all sLudenLs boLh ln and ouL of Lhe
classroom. 1he four year-long focus on college, coupled wlLh offerlng a-g courses and
provldlng Lhe sLudenLs wlLh Lhe supporLs needed Lo apply and succeed ln college, make
lL a reallLy for many more sLudenLs Lhan would oLherwlse be llkely Lo aLLend college.
llnally, Lhe culLure of group work, sollclLlng help and Lhe foundaLlon of sLrong academlc
skllls enable uLMPS sLudenLs Lo Lhrlve ln college. SLudenLs are noL expecLed Lo be able
Lo block ouL personal challenges and malnLaln a laser llke focus on learnlng. 1he sLaff
recognlzes LhaL personal challenges need Lo be addressed so LhaL sLudenLs can learn.
unforLunaLely, Lhe school lacks many of Lhe resources lL needs Lo adequaLely supporL
sLudenLs, so much of Lhe burden falls Lo Lhe Leachers.

When we were plannlng Lhls school, Lhe vlslon was LhaL Lhls school could do someLhlng
dlfferenL - be a dlfferenL klnd of school. 1here were many assurances from Lhe dlsLrlcL
Lo Lhls end. 1he foundlng commlLLee made program cholces and plans LhaL depended
on Lhls ldea of belng dlfferenL." Cne such example ls Lhe no u ollcy." ln order Lo be
a-g compllanL, and become a college-golng culLure, Lhe foundlng Leam wanLed a pollcy
where sLudenLs recelved A-Cs or ls. lnLervenLlons and summer school programs were
puL ln place Lo help Lhose sLudenLs LhaL recelved falllng grades. ln Lhe fall of 2011, when
Lhe flrsL graduaLlng class was ln Lhe beglnnlng of Lhelr flnal year, Lhe dlsLrlcL deLermlned
LhaL Lhls pollcy was noL conslsLenL wlLh Lhe pollcles aL Lhe oLher Lwo comprehenslve
hlgh schools. Cur assurances of belng allowed Lo be dlfferenL" were noL honored. As a
resulL, Lhe no u ollcy" was removed afLer 3 years of successful lmplemenLaLlon.
1eachers were forced Lo go back Lhrough 3 years of grade books and change grades ln
Lhe 60 range Lo us ralslng quesLlons for sLudenLs as Lo wheLher Lhey would be able Lo
re-Lake courses ln summer school. lurLhermore, Lhe sLudenLs and sLaff began Lo wonder
lf Lhe rlgor of Lhe program was belng dlluLed.

1he program of sLudy LhaL was developed by Lhe foundlng Leam, and clarlfled as each
class was added, closely followed Lhe dlrecLlve of rlgor, relevance, and relaLlonshlps. 1he
orlglnal vlslon for Lhe uLMPS graduaLe was Lo be a-g compllanL wlLh a comprehenslve
exposure Lo Lhe healLh care fleld maklng all graduaLes college and career ready. 1hls
lncluded: 4 years of PealLh Sclence, 4 years of Sclence, 4 years of Lngllsh, 3 years of
Soclal Sclence, 4 years of MaLh, 2 years of Spanlsh, 1 year of ArL and 2 years of L.
CompleLlng all Lhese course would puL Lhe uLMPS graduaLe 30 unlLs over Lhe AuSu
graduaLlon requlremenLs. Agaln ln Lhe fall of 2011, as senlors were approachlng
graduaLlon, Lhe school dlsLrlcL allowed sLudenLs Lo opL ouL of our core course of sLudy,
namely healLh and sclence classes whlch are Lhe cornersLone of Lhe program. 1hls had a
drasLlc lmpacL on our ablllLy Lo malnLaln grade-level lnLegraLed pro[ecLs - one of our

slgnaLure pracLlces LhaL helped us achleve Callfornla ulsLlngulshed School sLaLus and

years, we have operaLed wlLh 1 admlnlsLraLor, our prlnclpal, wlLh Lhe excepLlon of one
school year when we were glven an addlLlonal .3 admlnlsLraLor. LlemenLary and mlddle
schools all have more admlnlsLraLlve supporL. ln addlLlon, durlng Lhe flrsL 3 years, Lhe
fronL offlce was run by only 1 classlfled employee. ln year 4, we added a .3 poslLlon.
llnally, ln year 3, we were afforded a LoLal of 2 full Llme classlfled employees Lo run Lhe
fronL offlce of a hlghly compeLlLlve hlgh school (Lhelr duLles lnclude: aLLendance, sLudenL
accounLs, LranscrlpLs, class schedules, secreLarlal, flrsL ald, eLc.). lrom Lhe openlng of Lhe
school, our llbrary has only been open Lhrough lunch. Cur llbrary Lech ls a .3 poslLlon
and sLudenLs LhaL need Lo access Lhe llbrary afLer lunch are Lurned away. lor one
addlLlonal hour every day, Lhe llbrary ls funded by our slLe budgeL. All grade levels ln our
program engage ln research lnLenslve pro[ecLs and sLudenLs do noL have access Lo Lhe
resources of a full funcLlonlng llbrary and llbrarlan. ln addlLlon, ln Lhe flrsL four years, we
had a very dedlcaLed and sklllful counselor, however, ln Lhe 3
Lh
year, Lhe dlsLrlcL declded
Lo cenLrallze all school counselors. As a resulL, our school counselor lefL for anoLher
dlsLrlcL Lo be guaranLeed a full Llme poslLlon and we began a sharlng roLaLlng sysLem of
dlsLrlcL counselors. 1hese lndlvlduals whlle all cerLlfled, were unable Lo connecL Lo our
sLudenLs, bulld relaLlonshlps, and approprlaLely advlse Lhem on Lhelr currlcular needs as
Lhelr Llme was exLremely llmlLed on our campus. Cn a flnal noLe, our ablllLy Lo provlde a

of fundlng and Lhe ablllLy Lo provlde enough Lralnlng for our sLudenLs.

We deslre Lo become a charLer hlgh school ln order Lo galn auLonomy and go back Lo

orlglnally lnLended.

l am currenLly ln my 13
Lh
year of Leachlng. My career paLh Lo Lhe classroom can be
summed up by uouglas Adams, l may noL have gone where l lnLended Lo go, buL l Lhlnk
l have ended up where l needed Lo be." AfLer earnlng my 8achelors uegree ln
klneslology and MasLers uegree ln Lxerclse hyslology Leachlng hlgh school sclence was
Lhe farLhesL Lhlng from my mlnd. l was ln a docLoral program aL uC 8erkeley when my
paLh Look an unexpecLed Lurn. 1he door LhaL opened lead me Lo AnLloch Plgh School ln
Lhe fall of 2001, where l began Leachlng sclence. l earned my slngle sub[ecL Leachlng
credenLlal whlle Leachlng ln my own classroom. lrom day one ln Lhe classroom, l have
noL wanLed Lo do anyLhlng else. l sLarLed Leachlng 9
Lh
grade sclence and moved up Lo A
8lology when a group of senlors asked for Lhe class, whlch had noL been LaughL aL APS
ln years. l soon found myself as Lhe deparLmenL chalr and on Lhe schools leadershlp
Leam, becomlng an lnLegral parL of Lhe school communlLy. ln my Llme wlLh Lhe dlsLrlcL l
have served as a deparLmenL chalr, Lechnology lnLegraLlon leader, lead Leacher for
uaLawlse, 81SA supporL provlder, and WASC self sLudy coordlnaLor. uurlng Lhe sprlng of
2012 l was nomlnaLed by Lwo sLudenLs for Lhe Mary Allen lellows Award. l have also
compleLed a Lhree-summer lnLernshlp aL Lhe Lawrence 8erkeley naLlonal Lab, Lhrough
Lhe ueparLmenL of Lnergy's Academy CreaLlng 1eacher SclenLlsLs (uCL-AC1S) program.
When Lhe opporLunlLy arose ln Lhe fall of 2003 Lo serve on Lhe plannlng commlLLee of a
new medlcally Lhemed hlgh school l [umped aL Lhe chance, knowlng LhaL Lhls ls where l
was meanL Lo be.

l knew as soon as l heard Lhe call for volunLeers LhaL l wanLed Lo be parL of uozler-Llbby.
As parL of Lhe plannlng commlLLee we dlscussed every aspecL of Lhe school and whaL lL
had Lhe poLenLlal Lo become, l was even asked Lo be parL of Lhe lnLervlew panel for Lhe
lnlLlal prlnclpal. l was very exclLed Lo make Lhe move Lo uozler-Llbbey ln Lhe fall of 2008
when we flrsL opened our doors Lo sLudenLs. As Lhe lnlLlal sclence Leacher l was able Lo
seL Lhe Lone and develop Lhe four-year sclence sequence LhaL we have Loday. l love
belng able Lo Leach Lhe wonders of Lhe human body Lo sLudenLs every day, as far as l am
concerned l have one of Lhe besL [obs ln Lhe world. lL saddens me LhaL Lhe promlse of
our school and Lhe orlglnal vlslon has been undermlned by a lack of dlsLrlcL supporL over
Lhe lasL couple years. When we began, we were promlsed Lhe ablllLy Lo Lhlnk ouLslde
Lhe box and do Lhlngs dlfferenLly, yeL as happens all Loo ofLen dlsLrlcL leadershlp
changed and Lhe lnsLlLuLlonal memory was losL. 1he volces of Lhe few were heard more
Lhan Lhe sllence of Lhe many and slowly we were forced back lnLo our box. We have
experlenced greaLness ln our shorL hlsLory aL uozler-Llbbey, ln 2010 we were awarded
Lhe dlsLlncLlon of Callfornla ulsLlngulshed School and we were exclLed, here was proof
LhaL whaL we had been dolng was worklng, sLudenLs were achlevlng. 1oday, however,
our slgnaLure pracLlces are LhreaLened, sLudenLs are able Lo seLLle for medlocre grades
and opL ouL of classes LhaL are lnLegraLed around our Lheme. We have an ouLsLandlng
faculLy and sLaff, and we are genulnely commlLLed Lo Lhe success of our sLudenLs, l know
we can achleve greaLness by reLurnlng Lo our orlglnal vlslon and by provldlng a hlgh
