White Plains Summer Reading Lists

White Plains Summer Reading Lists

Around this time of year, we’re usually busy buying and unpacking boxes of books to support the summer reading lists from the White Plains Public Schools. This year, we’re not sure when we’ll be able to order or receive those boxes of books. Instead, we’re offering digital versions of this year’s summer reading recommendations.

We ask that everyone be mindful of an important difference between physical books and digital books. Paperbacks and eBooks check out the same way: a book can only be checked out to one person at a time. But eBooks are often four–or even six–times more expensive than paperbacks, so we’re not able to buy as many copies as we normally would. Hopefully the range of options on these reading lists–and the lack of a required title–will allow everyone to find a book they’ll enjoy, with a minimal wait.

WELCOME TO THE WHITE PLAINS HIGH SCHOOL GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT

   The Guidance Department at White Plains High School provides guidance and counseling services to all students from the time that they enter the high school until graduation. Guidance is a service function, which includes a series of planned and informal activities designed to assist students to understand themselves better, to cope with the normal problems associated with growing up, and to become contributing citizens. The goal of our program to help achieve a successful high school experience.  

Guidance and counseling is, however, more than a program of activities. It is also a relationship that exists between a student and a school counselor.  From grades nine through twelve, the school counselor advises and counsels students about the selection of courses, relationships with teachers and other significant adults, relationships with peers, extra-curricular involvement, career and post-high school planning, coping with pressures, tensions and the day-to-day problems of growing up in a complex, multi-faceted society.   

The mission of the White Plains City School District is to educate and inspire all students, while nurturing their dreams, so they learn continually, think critically, pursue their aspirations and contribute to a diverse and dynamic world.

SUPA Writing Culture: Introduction to Creative Nonfiction                                 Half year - ½ credit, Grade 12 This is a dual enrollment course between White Plains High School and Syracuse University.  Upon successful completion, students may earn three college credits. This course introduces creative nonfiction (CNF), a genre that encompasses many kinds of prose: memoirs, biography, travel writing, science writing, and literary journalism, to name a few.  CNF writers almost always—in some way or other—focus on the tensions that emerge between individuals and the world around them.  Thus, the title of this course, “Writing Culture,” refers to writing about oneself and others in the context of a broader culture.  Students will have the opportunity to experiment with style, genre, and subject in a writing studio environment and read varied examples of contemporary creative nonfiction. Students must pay the discounted fee for SU credit to receive a Syracuse University transcript. Prerequisite: English 3R with a grade of B or higher or English 3H or AP English with a C or higher.

SUPA:  English WRITING AND TEXTUAL STUDIES                                                     Full year — 1 credit, Grade 12 This is a dual enrollment course between White Plains High School and Syracuse University.  Upon successful completion, students may earn six college credits.  During the fall, students will be enrolled in WRT 105/Studio I: Practices of Academic Writing.  WRT105 teaches students strategies of critical academic writing in various genres, particularly analysis, argument, and researched writing.  During the spring, students will enroll in English Textual Studies.  In ETS students will learn and apply extensive close reading, evidence-based analysis and argumentation, and independent-inquiry with a focus on critically reading literary and other cultural texts.  Students must pay the discounted fee for SU credit to receive a Syracuse University transcript. Prerequisite: English 3 with a grade of B or higher or English 3H or AP English with a C or higher.

SUPA: PRESENTATIONAL SPEAKING                   Half year - ½ credit, Grade 12                                                            This is a dual enrollment course offered in collaboration with Syracuse University.  This course takes as its primary assumption that speaking in public is an essential component of most professions as well as a necessary skill of active citizens, able to articulate, advocate and argue in public and about public issues.  Hence, the instruction of presentational speaking is based on two important principles—the need to understand the fundamental principles of speaking in public and the need to practice different speaking types. Both objectives are directed toward developing workable presentational skills, the ability to discern the necessary speech type, understanding the link between the topic at hand and the audience, learning the process of crafting speeches, lending support to major claims and implementing persuasive strategies that can enhance affecting audiences.  Students must pay the discounted fee for SU credit to receive a Syracuse University transcript.   Prerequisite: English 3 with a grade of B or higher or English 3H or AP English with a C or higher.

Cutting Edge Addition Promises to Provide Myriad Opportunities for Students

By Amber Lau

March 3, 2023

WHITE PLAINS--The district has some exciting plans for new construction at WPHS that will provide many new opportunities for future classes. The current building that houses the high school’s IT and Staff Development Center, family center, and nurse coordinator services will soon be demolished and replaced with a new building. This new structure will be named the “I” building, and about half of this building will be used for students and classes while the other half will be used for administration.

The demolishing of the old structure will begin this summer, and the hope is that construction will conclude somewhere between Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. The “I” building will be three stories high and will have a bridge connecting the new building to the 2nd floor of the High School, allowing for access from our main building. With new Career and Technical Education programs, art and dance classes, and much more, there are so many opportunities for future White Plains High School students to look forward to.

Prior to the pandemic, there was already a need for new space for new programs such as the Career and Technical Education program. The administration advocated for these programs primarily because, through these programs, students can learn about and gain hands on experience in the technology and culinary fields without having to leave the school to commute to BOCES for half the day.

The new building will house courses in networking, IT, and cybersecurity, providing students with the opportunity to explore different professional fields right here in our high school. Additionally, the plans include the building of a medical suite with hospital beds, designed for aspiring nurses to gain hands on experience before college. The I Building will also contain a culinary arts program and a café, where students can make and serve food. The hope is that the ingredients that the café uses will be grown by our school’s horticulture classes, allowing more students to get involved and contribute to these incredible projects.

School leaders are invested in fostering their students’ interests in the arts. As such, it was determined that all art classes would be moved to this new building because our current art rooms were not specifically designed for art. I building will house a new ceramics room, photography room, and studio art rooms, and will also include a new fashion program, digital lab, sculpting room, jewelry-making room, and horticultural classroom. These new spaces will be much more suitable for art, as they will all have bright lighting and high ceilings. There will be a new art gallery to display student pieces adjacent to the café, allowing for students to observe artwork by their peers while enjoying refreshments. Additionally, as a result of increased student interest in dance, the new building will contain a dance studio. All of these new opportunities will help harness the creativity of our students while allowing more students to get involved in what truly interests them.

The new building will also include a Life Skills Apartment as well as a Student Enterprise Space, all dedicated to special needs students. The Life Skills Apartment will contain a kitchen, laundry room, and other facilities where these students will learn how to complete everyday tasks as part of their curriculum. The Student Enterprise Space will essentially be a school store where students can learn the skills of selling and stocking goods. Through all of these programs, students will be able to be able to provide a service to the school community while also learning life skills that they will utilize in the future.

Lastly, each floor of WPHS’s I building, will house a collaboration space, which is effectively a common area for students that will encourage them to work together. Rather than trying to work on group projects together on the floor of the hallways, there will soon be spaces dedicated for this. A Family Medical Center will also be developed in this new structure, which is a clinic with a nurse practitioner who will provide students in need with healthcare. It was determined that the Family Medical Center would be a beneficial addition to the school because studies showed that students with access to these services are more likely to stay in school.

New C Building construction plan.

After the art classes are transferred into I building, our current C-Corridor will now hold STEAM classes and additional classrooms after more work is done. Although this is a significant change, our current classrooms are far more suitable for this type of learning.

Overall, there are many reasons for this change, and although it is a lengthy project, the completed project will be extremely beneficial to future student and staff members, and will make White Plains High School one of the premier learning institutions in the country.
