General Information
Literacy is a source of empowerment and is fundamental to the
development of our intellectual growth. Here at Portland High we know
that the future of our world depends on our ability to build and improve
the communication skills of our students. Literacy skills are taught
within every content area and are a focus of staff development and
training. The diverse skill sets and educational experiences that our
students enter high school with are a challenge and we manage those
through differentiation, educational supports, such as literacy labs,
and literacy development classes.
