Perspectives The Principal's N ewsletter A M ESSAGE FROM DR. WOODBERRY Hello HS East Community, We are approaching the halfway point in the 2015-2016 school year very rapidly. There is a lot of good news to share about our students and staff here at HS East, as you will see in the following pages. Our teachers are engaging students in meaningful, unique learning experiences which are preparing our students to be ready for college and careers. Students are excelling in academics, the arts and athletics! Also, as is always the case, our extracurricular clubs and organizations are providing opportunities for our students to develop into well-rounded, contributing members or society. A number of years ago, we created a vision statement for our school, which you can see here. Recently we have been meeting with faculty, staff, students and parents to renew the statement. Our goal is to ensure that the statement reflects the ideas and beliefs of the current school community. We have discussed elements that should possibly be added and those that we might consider obsolete. From the data gathered thus far, it appears as though there will be a few additions but the foundation will stay intact. We plan to finish the update by the end of the school year. Stay tuned! As always we thank the Board of Education, the Superintendent and Central Office Staff, the High School East PTSA and of course the parents of our community for making it possible for us to provide the best educational experience for our students. Remember: Excellence!
Respect,
Responsibility
and
J. A. Woodberry 1
