Our school was named as a school of Excellence. This is a great achievement as less than twenty five schools in the state made this distinction, all based on achievement scores. It is really something worth bragging about as we have a challenging school population, with many factors which often are considered insurmountable but we ARE a school where failure is not considered an option.
Our leadership is strong and all practices and strategies are based on research. We quit beating the dead horse many years ago and have sought diligently to grow and implement real instructional changes that have lead to measurable gain. It is an awesome feeling.
This reminds me of the Winston Churchill quote, "Never Give Up". It also reminds me to employ the same attitude in overcoming my personal challenges. Keep moving forward, keep making intelligent choices, keep learning from mistakes and trying new solutions. And of course most importantly don't give up.
