Our local NBC News affiliate came out today to do an interview with me. Tanya Hutchins, Education Reporter, asked me about our credit recovery program. I think she di a nice job with the piece. It is always helpful to provide students with multiple opportunities to succeed. Especially, since we know how important a high school diploma is for future growth.

July is here, what happened to June?
For the past two months I have tried to close out school and begin thinking about becoming the Head Principal. I have been serving as the Assistant Principal for the past 4 years. I was excited May 28th when graduation ended, and excited again June 7th after the closing staff meeting. However, I just haven't been able to close the school year our and begin solely thinking about the upcoming year. Summer school is being housed in our building, and even though I am not directly responsible, I still have some obligation to the discipline that may occur. This has some effect causing the year to linger, and I find myself standing on July 1st.
Other factors that I was not prepared for have been replacing the tile in the main office and guidance office. I am thrilled for this, but I have moved my office in transitioning to my new title, but I haven't moved in because I am waiting for the tile to be laid. That happens next week, and carpets will be cleaned, and walls are painted , and . . .????
To add to my personal pain, I was vacationing in Florida last week. We visited Destin, FL, and were oil free for 5 of the 7 days. I absolutely took 99% of the time off from work. I mixed in a couple emails and a phone call. Now, I am paying for the vacation, but isn't that how it works? You look forward to the trip for months, and the day you return to work the papers are piled to the ceiling. Back to life, Back to reality!
