EHS Recognized for Excellence in PBIS

EUREKA HIGH SCHOOL RECOGNIZED FOR EXCELLENCE IN POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS AND SUPPORTS
Posted on 09/24/2021
Eureka High School (EHS) is proud to announce the California Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) Coalition awarded EHS with a GOLD recognition for excellence.

PBIS is a system of proactive, research-based, behavioral and cultural supports needed for any student to achieve academic and emotional success. PBIS enhances the important supportive relationship between positive classroom-wide culture and individual student success. Over the past eight years, the entire staff at EHS has been committed to implementing PBIS with fidelity and creating school-wide supports creating a welcoming and safe community for all students.

At EHS, some of these supports include clearly defined behavioral expectations, social and emotional learning for all freshmen students, community building circles, Stellar Student Awards for positive behaviors, and alternatives to suspension such as the Boys and Girls Club Teen Court Program.

Implementing PBIS continues to show a reduction in the number and intensity of disciplinary occurrences, a greater sense of safety in the school, a more positive school climate for students and school personnel, healthier relationships among and between students and adults (including parents and guardians), higher attendance rates, and an increase in school-home communication.
