Making High School Count!
Thanks to Mrs. L. Draper, Kendall Clark treated the Freshmen to an awesome one-hour presentation on the subject of High School success. Clark, sponsored by Tutor.com, Shell, FastWeb, Internet Broadcasting Company and My College Options captured the attention of his audience with practical advise, insight and scenarios about the importance of setting and attaining high academic goals in the first year of high school. I’ve seen many speakers address young people but few who could speak to the hearts of them the way Mr. Clark did on Thursday. For those of you who could not witness it firsthand, I wish I could upload footage of the entire presentation but of course, I cannot. You don’t have to take my word for how effective Making High School Count was though, take a glimpse of it yourself.

Fee Night…Beginning of the End??
Of the droves of Freshman students and parents who came out for fee night on Tuesday, it’s difficult to discern which group was more nervous and confused. Some were visibly anxious about the experience, some were tense and then others still were just plain SCARED. I assure you, whether student or parent, these emotions are to be expected. In fact, as strange as I may seem for saying so…I welcome that strange reaction. I’ll tell you why. Continue Reading »
