CHS9 was recently recognized by Solution Tree as a Promising Practices Professional Learning Community at Work® for its initial success in raising student achievement. CHS9's commitment to implementing the PLC at Work process has been a major contributing factor in making a visible, positive impact on student learning.
PLCs are schools and districts in which educators recognize that the key to improved learning for students is ongoing, job-embedded learning for the adults who serve those students. The three big ideas of a PLC call upon educators to:
1. Focus on learning
2. Build a collaborative culture
3. Create a results orientation
“This recognition marks our first major step toward becoming a fully recognized Model PLC School,” said CHS9 Principal Dr. Greg Axelson. “I am incredibly proud of our teachers, administrative team and curriculum partners for the dedication and collaboration that made this possible. This work is already making a real difference in student learning and will only strengthen the educational experience we provide as we strive towards Model PLC School status.

New Tech High @ Coppell Class of 2025 graduates Aditya Tummala and Ananya Patel have earned the prestigious Advanced Placement Capstone Diploma. The AP Capstone Diploma program helps students develop critical thinking, research, collaboration and presentation skills that are essential to academic and career success. They were led in this process by New Tech teachers Grace Hedges and Sam Uglow.
“We proudly celebrate the achievements of Aditya and Ananya and their participation in the AP Capstone Diploma program,” said New Tech High @ Coppell Principal Zane Porter. “Under the guidance of our exceptional teachers, our AP Capstone students explored their passions through scholarly research in an impactful, multi-year program.”
Tummala is currently studying at the University of Texas at Austin, and Patel is studying at the University of Pittsburgh.
To earn the AP Capstone Diploma, students must earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar, AP Research and on four additional Advanced Placement® (AP®) Exams of their choice.
During the 2024-25 school year, more than 160,000 students in over 3,500 schools worldwide participated in AP Capstone. Of these participants, only 17 percent of students earned the prestigious AP Capstone Diploma.
AP Seminar and AP Research assessments are project-based and evaluate skills mastery through group projects, presentations, and individual essays completed throughout the year. AP Seminar and AP Research are interdisciplinary. Students are encouraged to create research projects based on topics of personal interest and are assessed on the critical thinking, research, collaboration, time management, and presentation skills needed to complete their projects.
