Guiding Vision

Helix Charter High School will provide all students the tools and environment to become highly skilled, productive members of society, as well as self-directed learners.

Meeting Dates

The Helix Charter Board (typically) meets on the third Monday of each month unless otherwise indicated. Scheduled public meeting times are from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Helix Library. Agendas are posted and available in the Helix High School Office. Please see calendater for scheduled dates.

Five Fundamental Principals

1. All students are connected to school and learning through greater personalization and interactions among peers and adults.
2. All students are active learners; all teachers are facilitators of student learning.
3. All students demonstrate powerful learning through the production of significant work; all teachers design powerful curriculum.
4. All students, through interdisciplinary work, transfer knowledge to real-world situations.
5. All students achieve and stay in school because they see a connection between school work and the world of work.
