What are Office Hours, and why does Carmen have them?
Office Hours are 45 minutes after school when different teachers are available each afternoon to help students with assignments or learning concepts. Students who are not succeeding in a class may be required to come on one or more days a week, but all students are welcome to come if they need help.

Is Pulaski going to become like Reagan or King?
Yes and no. Reagan and King are more traditional IB schools, but we do expect to perform at high levels like they do. In 2012, IB initiated a Career-related Program (CP). Because Pulaski has had career tracks like our Automotive program and Business and Health, that will be our brand of IB. The CP is different from traditional IB, and Pulaski will be the first Milwaukee school to pursue this program.

Why do we wear a school uniform?
It's professional and puts all students on a level playing field. (Neighbors really like being able to identify which students belong, too, but that wasn't the reason. Just a happy result.)

What are the core values at Carmen?
Respect, Responsibility, Trust, Courage, Perseverance, Teamwork, and Integrity
