From the Principal's Desk
Let me begin by thanking you for an outstanding week of instruction. We are really getting focus as a campus and the sense urgency is contagious. Our scholars appear to be more determined than ever to show academic progress. This attitude is directly attributable to you as campus leaders. Scholars feed off our energy and sense of urgency. We must continue modeling this behavior for our scholars. Now is the time our scholars must demonstrate mastery of the content. Let us all continue to support each other as we all support our scholars.
Mr. Bennett
