W. Charles Akins High School
Great Start of the 2018-2019 School Year
Eagle Nation,
I am so proud of the beautiful start to our school year. As I walk classrooms, I am inspired by our teachers' thoughtful classroom arrangements, posted packed agendas, and our student-led classrooms. All to maximize student achievement. Wow!
Our commitment here at Akins is to ensure that every student is known, valued, and inspired to be college, career, and life ready, utilizing a strong partnership with teachers, parents, and our community. Everything we do contributes to this mission and together I know we can achieve this.
Students, you have done an amazing job these last three weeks! Please remember to be present, communicate with us (we are here for you), make positive choices, and contribute respectfully to our Akins community. Most of all, remember we love you and are here to support you.
Lastly, I am honored to serve you all, however I can.
WingsUP!
Sincerely,
Tina Salazar
