2024 CPS Summer Leadership Institute (SLI)

Curie High School is the third largest school in CPS and leads the district in the number of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch and leads the district in the number of students who are English Language Learners.  Students enroll at Curie through various GoCPS programs including Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID), Arts, Career and Technical Education (CTE), and International Baccalaureate (IB).  Students from the neighborhood also enroll at Curie.  This presentation focuses on how Curie more than doubled its students earning Dual Credit Early College and Career Credits (ECCC) from SY22 to SY23 while maintaining or increasing the types of classes and opportunities.  This led to an all-time high ECCC rate for Curie during SY23 with additional opportunities for growth in SY24 and into SY25.  The presentation will share how data was used strategically to create the opportunities and also develop the growth mindset of staff.
