The SSC is an avenue open to parents to provide input to the school from the community.  By working directly with the principal, teachers, staff, and other parents, SSC members participate in establishing the school's annual School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and allocating school improvement funds to support the plan goals.  Throughout the year, SSC members assess the effectiveness of the plan by listening to staff reports and discussing plan goals and Torrey Hills' ongoing progress toward the goals. 

 

The SSC is open to all parents of the school.  Members are elected by a ballot process by their peers.  The Council membership includes five parents and one alternate, three teachers, the principal and one other staff representative. 

 

In order to provide continuity from year to year, SSC members can serve either a two year or one year term.  Members attend five meetings a year which are held after school from 2:45-3:30 pm.
