Someone once told me that a school year was like a trip on an airplane. The flight is usually smooth--its the take-off and landing that gives you trouble. This year has definitely been a bumpy take-off at AHS. There were many things that had to be moved to the new junior high wing at AES. Over a third of our teachers relocated to new rooms as we expanded into the old junior high classrooms. Students may have enjoyed the extra two weeks of summer break but it complicated things for sports and band. Teachers lost two weeks of valuable instructional time. The switch to a new student management system has also posed challenges that are still being resolved. However, after two weeks we are off the ground and headed for cruising altitude.
Last year during the first week of school I shared my vision for Adamsville High School with both faculty and students. There are two parts to that vision. First of all, I wanted AHS to be a place where people want to be--a place students want to attend, a place where parents want their children to go, and a place where teachers want to work. The second part of my vision is that I want our students to be ready when they leave---ready for wherever their decisions take them be that college, a vocational school, the military, or a job.
Once again, during the first week of school I spoke with each individual grade level and told them that my vision hasn’t changed. Those are still the two things that drive me each day. Throughout this year, everything we do will be geared toward furthering that vision. To be where we need to be it will take all of us--administrators, faculty and staff, students, parents, and the entire community. With that in mind, I will be sharing regular updates with you through our social media and web page. I’m looking forward to seeing what our students can accomplish.
