Strawberry Mansion High School - Education. Opportunity. Equity.

Our Mission
Strawberry Mansion HS is a transformative school that is driven to provide an exceptional education and equitable opportunities for all students. Through career pathways, each student will extend their learning and develop the competencies necessary to compete in the 21st century. Every student will graduate with two viable options: a high-quality diploma and an industry certification. That is the Mansion Promise.

Our Core Values
Hard Work: We approach our work with a sense of urgency and passion because we know our contributions are essential to the success of our students, our family, and our team.
Pride: We believe the best about our students, our peers, our families and our community and it’s evident in what we say and what we do.
Teamwork: We are in this together, we are respectful and we solve problems. We may disagree, but at the end of the day we support each other 100% in doing what’s best for children.
Excitement: We approach school with a sense of excitement because we know that teaching and learning is fun and our energy is contagious.
Results: We focus on finding solutions and achieving results, rather than making excuses or placing blame. We accept personal accountability for our own actions and approach each day with a “can- do” attitude.
Transparency: We face reality, communicate honestly and respectfully and hold each other accountable .

Technology for Music Education

Your gift will help us to outfit our Music Lab with state of the art equipment so that our students can have relevant music industry experiences. The goal, to allow them to make a family sustaining wage in the music industry upon graduation. 

Description of Need:

Our lab is in desperate need of some upgrades. We are looking to purchase modern music lab networking gear to foster communication and collaboration. Digital Turntables are needed for students to get a chance to practice their craft of performing. Educational and Professional software for Digital Music Production, DJ, Networking, and Professional Audio will allow our students to work on industry standard platforms. Finally, soundproofing and IT supplies will help to make the lab have focused and professional appearance and functionality. 

Our goal is to increase our math scores. In order to reach this obtainable goal we need to increase technology to a 1:1 student calculator ratio. By funding this campaign it will allow for every student to have a Texas Instrument Grade appropriate calculator.

Dr. Tanner G. Duckrey is a Positive Behavior Incentive School. This has dramatically shifted our school culture and aided the growth of student achievement. We have been awarded the PBIS school of the year by the state of Pennsylvania. Our PBIS program also supports the growth of student attendance, which has been a main focus during the pandemic. We are not provided a direct budget to support the purchasing of incentives and we cannot purchase anything through our school’s operational budget. Every day Duckrey scholars have the opportunity to earn Duckrey Diamonds, the Diamonds are used to purchase items in our prize room. Your donation will allow us to provide students access to incentives that the students directly desire as indicated through surveys given to students and families. Our incentives are specific to a student's developmental age. We have also expanded our use of incentives to families to drive participation in parent and family workshops on how they can help support student achievement at home. Some of the incentives we are looking to purchase include gift cards to local retailers that the students frequent, pizzas and other healthy food options that students enjoy delivered right to their door. This system will continue to help us reward students for positive behavior. Your donation will be greatly appreciated. https://www.pbis.org/
