Happy Friday! What a jam-packed week it has been at GCHS! Many of you are preparing for the end of the semester and that means tests, concerts, performances, food and fellowship. This time of year shows just how "well-rounded" schools have to be. The great thing is that many of you are still smiling!
This Wednesday our school was visited by principals from several other schools throughout the state to examine what we have done to improve the culture of our school. We hosted this event at the recommendation of Dr. Creech and Dr. Greene. I asked several teachers and students to participate by either speaking to these principals or having visits to your classroom. The feedback I received was amazing! So many of them were impressed by how well the teachers and students could speak about their school and why they wanted to be here. They commented on the great instruction that they saw in classrooms and how the attitudes of teachers and students contributed to that. In my opinion, education is the greatest service industry in the world. Schools are systems that are designed and run by people for the direct benefit and development of other people. While they wanted to give me credit for this change, I am insistent that each of you are responsible. I am looking forward to the end of the semester so that we can see the academic and social data of cultural change and what that means for the school overall. Enjoy your weekend and come back Monday ready for a strong finish before the break!
