CSET Professional Learning

Cypress Creek High School

The Cypress Creek High School (CCHS) Hollyhock team is comprised of a diverse group of all female educators from the Social Studies, Mathematics and Science departments.  Their experience range from teaching two to four years of teaching. Uniquely, our team was also all chosen to serve as facilitators for our District Professional Learning Community (DPLC) initiative in which we help teachers implement close reading, academic conversations, and writing across disciplines to benefit our students. Cypress Creek High School, located in the heart of central Florida, is a one-to-one school and students use their laptops year round.  Our entire student population of 3300 is enrolled in the Free and Reduced Lunch program and our minority enrollment is currently 90%.  Last year, our teachers' hard work and passion, enabled Cypress Creek to improve their school grade from a "C" to a "B" rating based on several factors compiled by the Florida Department of Education. Our Hollyhock team shares a common goal of better equipping our striving readers and English language learners with the skills to independently navigate complex standards and engage more confidently in academic conversations.
