From Mr. Gene Bottoms, 
Senior Vice President of SREB and founder of HSTW:

Hicksville High School “has shown what can be accomplished to raise student achievement by deeply implementing the High Schools That Work model for strengthening curriculum and instruction,” said Mr. Bottoms.  “The school illustrates the spirit of change and the gains in performance that High Schools That Work advocates and supports through assessment, staff development and technical assistance.”  http://www.sreb.org/programs/hstw/background/backgroundindex.asphttp://www.sreb.org/programs/hstw/hstwindex.aspshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1
