Renaissance
Renaissance is a nation-wide program designed to motivate and encourage students by rewarding academic excellence. The Renaissance program at Monterey Trail High School aims at creating and maintaining a culture in which academic achievement has the same prestige as athletic or artistic achievement. Renaissance employs similar motivational practices to those used in the business world. By providing tangible and visible incentives and rewards to students who improve their level of performance and to those who maintain high levels of achievement, Renaissance re-enforces the behavior that schools promote.
There are three levels of rewards:
Platinum - 4.0 or better GPA
Gold - 3.0 or better GPA
Silver - 0.5 or better GPA improvement
Gold - 3.0 or better GPA
Silver - 0.5 or better GPA improvement
