High School
Weekly Update - 9/10/21
Principal Thoughts
When I was kid, I remember hearing my grandparents talk about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. What they would always tell me was they remembered exactly what they were doing when the news came on and announced what had happened in Dallas. Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of an event that, for many of us, we can remember exactly what we were doing when we first heard about the airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center. I was in my early 20s at the time working as a loan officer at a bank in Chapel Hill. I remember the first customer that day who came in right when we opened at 9:00 a.m. and told us about the first airplane hitting the North Tower. We were all stunned to hear this, so we rolled the television from the break room out into the main lobby and were glued to the news for the rest of the day. The world changed fundamentally on that day, and our students don't know anything other than a post-9/11 world. The horror of that event was unimaginable, but one positive feeling I remember in the aftermath of 9/11 was the sense of unity we had as Americans. The people who attacked us weren't interested in our internal differences and the things we argued about with each other; they simply wanted to take down our country. Today, we are living through another event that has fundamentally changed our world. So, as we commemorate the lives tragically lost on that sunshine-filled Tuesday morning 20 years ago, I would like to think that we will also remember the things that bind us together as Americans, and we can set aside our differences, at least for a little while.
