Research Says Family Involvement Important

Family involvement in student education is important...even high school students. This month's National Association of Secondary School Principal's Research Review dedicates the issue to promoting family involvement. The article identifies four important facts, and they include:

• Family involvement in education remains a powerful predictor of student academic achievement and other positive outcomes.
• Family involvement in secondary education is associated with higher rates of college enrollment.
• Academic encouragement by parents is more powerful than the support provided by friends.
• Intervention programs can strengthen family involvement with positive results for student school success.

The faculty and staff of Seneca High encourage you to be involved in your student's education. We encourage you to contact a teacher, guidance counselor, or administrator for ways that you can be involved.
