BHS Student Learning Opportunities & Career Pathways
⚔️THE JOURNEY OF A HIGHLANDER
Participants on the "Journey of a Highlander" tour will experience dynamic programs at each rotation stop, showcasing how we cultivate growth and foster the five Highlander competencies—Adaptive Learner, Communication, Empathy, Responsible Collaborator, and Creative and Critical Thinkers. From innovative badging and dramatic play to supportive peer mentoring and specialized scheduling, to leadership development and future-focused pathways, each stop highlights how we prepare students to thrive in every aspect of their journey.
🏘️COMMUNITY & CARING
Purple Pantry (Kathryn Streets & Rebecca Mackin)
The goal of the pantry is to position at-risk students in the district to succeed academically, socially and emotionally. We have students in our district who are homeless, live in temporary or displaced housing, lack financial security, lack food security, or don't have access to basic need items. The pantry offers a direct line of support to this population.
Best Buddies / Innovation Shop / Special Olympics / Partners PE (Timothy Laughlin & Eric Jankoski)
At Baldwin High School, we are committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity and collaboration. Offered through courses or even school events, these opportunities offer a diverse array of students the forum to come together for the betterment of all!
PBIS (Brandon Whitfield)
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) at Baldwin HS is a proactive and structured framework, encouraging positive behavior by setting clear expectations, reinforcing good choices, and providing targeted support when needed.
🎓SKILLS & CAREERS
PA Steels Science Work (Denise Wells, Kent Radomsky, Stephanie Neal & Rachele Felix)
The new STEELS standards’ overall focus, the concept of sensemaking and a focus on phenomena, shifts traditional Science standards from general knowledge skills into real world application and relevance for the 21st century.
Senior Exit Interviews (Richard Deemer & Natalie Grattan)
The Senior Exit Interview process allows students to demonstrate the competencies of the Journey of a Highlander, including critical thinking, communication, collaboration, responsibility, and empathy.
Future Pathways Facilitator (Cassidy Cooper)
The BHS Future Pathways Facilitator position connects students with real-world career experiences, bridging the gap between classroom learning and practical application.
Athletics
The athletic program in the Baldwin-Whitehall School District is an integral part of the total school environment. It encompasses both immediate and long-range goals. The immediate goal is to meet the physical and recreational needs of the students in the areas of motor coordination, strength, skills, endurance, general physical fitness, and peer involvement/participation. Its long-range goals are to develop the intellectual, emotional, social and physical skills necessary for a happy, active, and productive adult life.
The interscholastic athletic program of the Baldwin-Whitehall School District is operated in accordance with the rules of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.
