From the Principal's Desk
Although February is coming to an end, we must begin to raise our expectations of our scholars. Preparing them for the challenges of the next grade level should be our primary focus. As a team, every staff member must prepare themselves to offer the support and expertise that is needed for academic achievement. The most important title we all must carry is "student achievement"! Prepare yourselves for unorthodox scheduling and some roles you may not be completely comfort in doing. We must rally behind the success of all our scholars! After all we are a TEAM! Failure is Not an option! Let's get back to making Macon great again.
