Welcome to Quartz Hill High School
Through a rigorous and relevant curriculum, Quartz Hill High School will prepare students to be responsible citizens. Students will improve the quality of life in our school and community at large by displaying tolerance, respect for others, poise, and self-control, and by participating in the democratic process.
Students will demonstrate the ability to communicate ides clearly and to respond appropriately to the messages of others through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Students will work to analyze and evaluate information in order to build critical thinking skills that can be used to create innovative solutions to real-world problems. Students will demonstrate a positive work ethic by practicing organizational strategies, planning ahead, and using effective study skills independently.
