'''Annapolis High School''' is a [[high school]] located in [[Dearborn Heights, Michigan]], USA at the corner of Annapolis and Clippert. Annapolis High, home of the Cougars, celebrated its 40th anniversary at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year. Annapolis High School is one of three high schools located in Dearborn Heights, the others being Crestwood High School and Robichaud High School. |

==History== |
|||
Founded in 1896,<ref name="High School Heroes">{{cite web|url=http://heritagebooks.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=HBI&Product_Code=G2521&Category_Code=md|title=High School Heroes: A Century of Education and Football at Annapolis High School, 1896-2003|date=2004|work=|publisher=Heritage Books}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.usna.edu/History/facultygood.htm|title=Jane E. Good, Associate Professor, USNA History Department|date=|work=(see section: Major Scholarly Work (local history))|publisher=USNA.edu}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=X6waAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA97&lpg=PA97&dq=annapolis+high+1896&source=bl&ots=mrL5EO8FQE&sig=rHaJ2r4oDqMLyIgKkzRdezqmChs&hl=en&ei=OOUxTLP-DIT78Aai2IDJCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CBgQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=annapolis%20high%201896&f=false|title=School Board v. Henkel et al.|date=1911|work=|publisher=Google Books: Reports of the Court of Appeals of Maryland}}</ref> Annapolis High was the first public high school to open in Anne Arundel County and among the first in the state of [[Maryland]]. The school originally occupied a brick building in historic, downtown Annapolis, but the post-[[World War I]] population surge led to the construction of a new school that stood on the outskirts of downtown Annapolis within a short distance from [[Wiley H. Bates High School|Wiley H. Bates]] "Colored" High School. In the mid-1960s — more than a decade after the [[United States Supreme Court|Supreme Court's]] ruling in ''[[Brown v. Board of Education]]'' — Annapolis High and Bates High were desegregated.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hometownannapolis.com/news/top/2010/03/28-35/Eric-Hartley-Segregation-symbol-now-brings-unity.html|title=Segregation symbol now brings unity|date=03/28/2010|work=|publisher=The Capital}}</ref> Soon thereafter, the Wiley H. Bates High School was renamed/repurposed into Annapolis Middle School for grades 9 and 10 in 1966-67, and then into Bates Junior High School for grades 7 to 9 in 1968. The original Wiley H. Bates High School building at 1101 Smithville Street served as a public school until early 1981 when Bates Middle School moved to the former Annapolis Senior High School campus. In 1979, Annapolis High moved to its present location on Riva Road outside the city limits. Its former buildings now house Bates Middle School and the [[Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts]]. |
|||
==Academics== |
|||
In 2010, Annapolis High was ranked as the 16th best high school in the state of Maryland (3rd in Anne Arundel County; 297th overall) in [[Newsweek|Newsweek's]] ''America's Best High Schools'' list.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newsweek.com/feature/2010/americas-best-high-schools/list.html|title=America's Best High Schools: The List|date=2010|work=|publisher=Newsweek.com}}</ref> Annapolis is noted for its [[IB Diploma Programme|International Baccalaureate]] (I.B.) program<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aacps.org/admin/templates/elp.asp?articleid=406&zoneid=55|title=International Baccalaureate Programs|date=|work=|publisher=AACPS.org}}</ref> — one of three county schools with the program (the other two being [[Meade Senior High School|Meade]] and [[Old Mill High School|Old Mill]]). The I.B. program is a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum for grades 11 and 12 that emphasizes critical thinking and features a strong international focus. The school also offers nearly every [[Advanced Placement]] (A.P.) class approved by the [[College Board]] as well as an English for Speakers of Other Languages program. |

Recently, the Annapolis High math team has won the Anne Arundel County High School Mathematics Competition four years straight (2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aacc.edu/newsonline/2010/02/release10133.cfm|title=Severn School Wins 5th Round, Annapolis High is No. 1|date=03/03/2010|work=|publisher=AACC.edu}}</ref> |

Annapolis High publishes a school newspaper (''The Anchor''), a yearbook (''The Wake''), a literary & arts magazine (''Perception''), and produces a newscast (''Pantherama/P:tv''). |

==Zero-basing controversy & academic turnaround== |
|||
After the school's standardized test scores failed to meet federal [[Adequate Yearly Progress]] (AYP) standards, Anne Arundel County Schools Superintendent Kevin M. Maxwell required the school's entire staff — including the principal, administrators, teachers, secretaries, and custodians — to reapply for their positions in the fall of 2007, a controversial move termed "zero-basing" that is one of several reform options authorized by the Maryland Department of Education and the federal [[No Child Left Behind]] law. As a result, around half of the teachers and staff did not return in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hometownannapolis.com/news/top/2007/06/08-34|title=66 teachers returning to Annapolis High School|date=06/08/2007|work=|publisher=The Capital}}</ref> The school also hired a group of "AYP Specialists" and other support staff to focus primarily on ensuring that the school's standardized test scores reached state and federal standards. Within 30 months of zero-basing, the school successfully made an academic turnaround and met AYP standards in two consecutive years<ref>{{cite web|url=http://annapolishigh.org/MainPageNews/AHS%20makes%20AYP.doc|title=One Year After Overhaul, Annapolis High School Meets State Adequate Yearly Progress Targets (MS Word file)|date=|work=|publisher=AnnapolisHigh.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://mdreportcard.org/AypIntro.aspx?AypPV=14|0|02|4013|3|000000|title=AYP Results|date=|work=|publisher=MdReportCard.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/anne-arundel/bal-ar.annapolis07mar07,0,881075.story|title=Annapolis high school staff returns to 10-month schedule; schedule change reflects successful turnaround|date=03/07/2010|work=|publisher=The Baltimore Sun}}</ref> and increased the number of students who passed the Maryland School Assessment 34 percentage points in English and 19 points in math.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2010-04-14/news/bs-md-ar-annapolis-principal-award-20100414_1_don-lilley-secondary-school-principals-students|title=Annapolis High principal wins state award|date=04/14/2010|work=|publisher=The Baltimore Sun}}</ref> As a result of this turnaround, principal Don Lilley was named the state's best principal by the Maryland Association of Secondary School Principals in 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hometownannapolis.com/news/top/2010/04/15-20/Annapolis-High-principal-named-best-in-state.html|title=Annapolis High principal named best in state|date=04/15/2010|work=|publisher=The Capital}}</ref> |
