What is a Magnet School?
A magnet school is a public institution that offers a
unique educational program
or
instructional focus
. Magnet schools are special because they have a
theme
that permeates the entire culture of the school. Another interesting thing about magnet schools is that anyone in the district, not just students in the home attendance area, may
choose
to attend the school. This feature attracts many different types of students to magnet schools, creating a
diverse
and dynamic student population.
Nathan Hale's Magnet: Leadership & Social Justice
Nathan Hale's magnet program encourages students to take on leadership roles and responsibilities both in the school community and the community at large. Nathan Hale advocates for its students, urging youth to take on roles that make them feel productive, inspired, and empowered. Nathan Hale asserts that any of our students have the potential to become a major influence in society. It is our belief that young people should begin learning how to be autonomous, responsible citizens in order to function effectively in our democratic society and shape the future of our nation in positive ways.
