Webster-Kirkwood Times. Webster-Kirkwood This year’s booklet contains the 20112012 school calendar, profiles of our schools, descriptions of special programs, telephone numbers and other important information. We’ve tried to include as much information as possible in this format and hope that you find it useful. We have much to celebrate in the Webster Groves School District this year: rising standardized test scores, small class sizes, an outstanding staff, scores of academic, arts and athletic athl etic awards, more than $15 million in scholarships awarded to the class of 2011 and the beginning of the process to renovate and expand the high school, thanks to passage of Proposition W in 2010. I’d like to thank the Times for producing this directory as well as all of the local businesses that support this endeavor by

P t Wt-Kkw Wt-Kkw T s ht: Webster Webst er Groves High School began as a general course offered to ninth graders in 1889. At the turn of the century, century, the school occupied the first floor of the original Bristol School building; the elementary school took up the second floor. As enrollment increased, the high school used hallways and storerooms as supplementary classrooms. In 1906, the district built a high school on Selma Avenue, a two-story brick building with three classrooms and an auditorium. Front wings were added in 1913. The Webster Groves Armory, constructed in 1917, was turned over to the high school following World War I and housed the lunch room and senior gymnasium. Webster Webst er Groves High School was originall originallyy named Hamsher High School for Frank Hamsher, school superintendent from 1917 to 1924. In 1934, portions of the building built in 1906 and 1913 were w ere razed. A large addition, addition, including including the Little Theater Theater and additional additional classrooms, classrooms, was completed in 1935. The district built Roberts Gym, named after coach and teacher Charles A. Roberts, in 1946. The high school was named in the state’s “Top 10 List” in 2005 for most improved schools, in second place for improvement in tenth grade mathematicss scores. From 2000-2004, the number of students scoring mathematic in the proficient or advanced categories of the MAP increased by 20.8 percent. In 2006, the state ranked WGHS among the top 10 in the state

Several lines of research suggest that the catastrophic upheavals like those in 1811-12 visit the New Madrid region every 500-600 years.

The space will include include a greenhouse (funded by the Webster Groves Women’s Garden Association and built by a Boy Scout troop); rain barrels for collecting and reusing water; compost bins for refuse from the cafeteria; and a learning deck for outdoor classroom space. The students will grow fruits and vegetable in the greenhouse and will learn how these foods are grown; the importance of eating fresh foods and making healthy choices; as well as the environmental benefits of conserving water and composting waste.

Mobi is a handheld slate that makes a projected image image interactive. Student response systems permit students to respond individually through personal electronic units to questions posed by the instructor . The students’ responses are tabulated, categorized and projected as summary information on a display screen screen in the front of the classroom. These responses provide instant student data that can guide a differentiated lesson. ls Sks, cark emntary S, “gutar n t emntary cassrm,” $4,362 “Guitar in the Elementary Classroom” will be offered as part of the regular school year curriculum curriculum for fifth-grade students. Through this project project students will learn to identify the letter names of the lines and spaces of the treble staff; identify basic rhythms; learn proper playing technique; perform a short acoustic guitar concert; concert; and compare the skills needed to play an acoustic guitar to the skills needed to play a guitar-shaped video game controller. lzz Tmsn, Wstr grs h S (WghS), “Puttn t Prata bak nt Prata Arts,” $2,500 (un y t cass 1959) In 2010, WGHS business department launched a new semester-long course entitled “Entrepreneurship.” The course was designed designed to teach basic business concepts; to have students collaborate on small-scale tasks with local businesses; and to give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a hands-on, experiential manner by creating and implementing a small business of their own at school. After the pilot course, it was determined that while students saw immense value and opportunity to utilize experiential learning by creating a business of their own, they needed starting capital to develop a product or service. This grant will provide the seed money necessary for students to launch their businesses. dra bmann an Ana Tmpsn, Wstr grs h S (WghS), “cntmprary Sr larnn an ltratur,” $2,358 (parta unn rant) ($1,058 un y t cass 1958) This grant funds embedded service-learning experiences for seniors enrolled in the Contemporary Literature and Composition Class. Seniors crave the opportunity to step outside high school’s boundaries and be engaged with the larger world. By offering structured service-learning projects related directly to the course’s curriculum and required readings, the class can provide students with a greater sense of purpose. The service learning projects projects will aim to affect every student in the high school through advocacy, awareness and invitations to contribute. Examples of service projects include providing school supplies to students in Iraq and Afghanistan, supporting autism assistance dog training and promoting safe driving habits among teens. ls bnntt an dana Mt, hxsn M S, “Rat Yur ftnss exprn,” $4,924 One of the Webster Groves School District’s indicators of student success is that students understand the importance of safe and and healthy lifestyles.
