Eastern High School: A Case Study

High School is an incredibly important period of life. It influences your social, academic, and personal life for four years, and prepares you for college and a career. This is the reason County Prep High School is my school of choice. County Prep's thriving social environment, challenging academic curriculum, and wide variety of electives will help me successfully carry out my plans for the future.

Last year, at Kingsland High School’s Graduation Ceremony, Josie Hinze not only receiveed her High School Diploma, but also her Associates of Arts Degree before even attending any college or university. Fast-forward to one year later, and seven Kingsland students will be graduating high school with both their High School Diploma and AA Degree thanks to the collaboration of Riverland Community College and Kingsland High School for allowing high school students to take college-level courses in high school and receive college credit for them. Not only that, but there are several others who will be graduating Kingsland High School with transferrable college credit so their first few semesters might

In September of 2013, the new East Bridgewater Junior Senior High School opened it’s doors for the very first time welcoming students from grades 7 - 12. After reorganization of the three schools in the district, it was decided that the seventh and eighth grade would move from the middle school into the new building. Although the building was beautiful and filled with the latest technology, a wave of negative thoughts and expectations about how the school and the school district functions engulfed the staff. A divide slowly but surely formed between the middle school teachers and the the high school teachers, new policies, programs, and technical changes were implemented with few explanations or input, and administration became as distant

With the completion of Wilburton Elementary School, enrollment numbers will significantly decrease at the elementary schools in the northwest corridor of Bellevue. Although Wilburton will provide relief for certain schools in Bellevue, it isn’t a viable long-term solution for another highly populated region, Somerset. The regions surrounding Somerset has one of the largest populations under 18 at 24.27%, and a potential to rise even higher, hence the high enrollment numbers in the south corridor of Bellevue. The proposed elementary school* would be able to reduce enrollment numbers in Newport Heights, Woodridge, Somerset, Eastgate, Lake Hills and Spiritridge. The proposed plan would mean a significant reduction in attendance area at the schools listed above, as a result boundary lines will have to be redistricted to incorporate the proposed plan. The proposed boundary shifts also integrates regions with very different ethnic backgrounds, each original region will be well represented in the new school with dominant races such as Hispanic, White and Asian mixed together. The proposed school would also incorporate students of varying academic proficiency, with three original elementary schools ranking in the top 5 of Bellevue, while one representing the lower half of the spectrum based on SBAC test scores. The mix of student proficiencies and cultures would be highly rewarding for students as they converge together with different cultures and study backgrounds, which is

During the Olympic Torch passing on January 24, 2002 students of Juneau- Douglas High School in Alaska were allow to go across the street to watch the event. Joseph Frederick and some of his peers held up a banner stating “BONG HiTS 4 JESUS” as the television cameras passed them. The principal of the highschool, Deborah Morse, seized the sign and suspended Frederick for five days for violating the anti-drug policy of the school district. This suspension was later extended to 10 days. The first thing Fredrick did was appeal the suspension to the superintendent. His appeal was denied. Later, in March he appeal to the Juneau School Board who also supported the principal's decision.

The incident at Chattooga High school is an example of censorship because due to personal bias, a decision is being made to exclude something. However, the principle was well within his rights to remove these photographs because while the second amendment applies in a public school setting, courts have permitted limitations decided by school officials. In my opinion, the choice to remove these photographs, while lawful, is not just because an implication is not enough to go off of to make a choice. In this situation I would create a petition, garnering as many signatures I could from students and teachers alike to reinstate these

Highland Park’s middle school district is in shambles. District 112 is made up of three unequal middle schools: Northwood, Edgewood, and Elm Place. Although all three schools have a relatively low student to teacher ratios and an average number of students, Northwood’s, demographics, building, and socioeconomic status are widely different than the other two schools. As a result, Northwood does not have a chance to serve local food, impacting local businesses and the town’s commercial momentum.

Future Business Leaders of America has been a flourishing club within Athens High School. This past year was no exception. After getting to travel to Chicago, Illinois to compete against a selection of a few kids from every state and maybe even a couple of kids from outside of the country, they have had a lot to say about the trip.

Eastampton Township has a history that dates back to 1880’s with the invention and production of the “Star” bicycle. The 5.83 square mile township is home to just about 6000 residence with a racial breakdown of approximately 68 percent white, 12 percent black and 20 percent other. The median household income is just above $70,000 and the average dwelling value is $260,000. In regards to educational background, 94 percent of the population over 25 have a high school diploma or higher. Of this age category, 42 percent hold a bachelor’s degree or higher. English is the primarily spoken language; with 82 percent only speak English (US Census, 2010). However, there have been significant changes since the 2010 census. In 2011, the township constructed a low-income housing complex, which provided an increase in the student population. Since 2010, there has also been an addition of a townhome development complex. This year, there are three developments being constructed, two low to moderate income condos and one townhome projected to add over 1,000 residence by 2018.

Two weeks ago, we had a short conversation about what is the process of getting n the nursing program at FAU, and what I suppose to do to get financial support for the school fees. And how much the four years program will cost. I have financial aid at Broward College, pretty soon they are going to kick me out, because I have bunch of credit.

I am a former 8th grade student from Greendale Middle School. After three years of seeing the old firehouse/police station, I came up with a renovation idea for the historic building. Since the High School already has a theater that is optimal for shows, I think that Greendale needs to have a theater that could be utilized for music. Greendale is involved in music and I think we need somewhere where we can enjoy music to its fullest extent. I know that the project would cost thousands of dollars, but this space could be rented to groups like MYSO or other groups that have a big musical influence and it could be used to generate funds. Since the High School theater is not big enough to sit all the supporting families of the Greendale band and

CM Gilmore made an unannounced visit to Grovetown High School to discuss safety and well-being of the children listed in the reported. CM interviewed Samera Blockmon, who is listed as one of the VC’s in the report. Samera Blockmon reported the following:

Hello, I'm Cory Hiebert and I am currently a senior at Halstead High School located in Kansas, United States of America. Being a senior at Halstead has equipped me with many extra opportunities to advance my graphic design as well as marketing and business skills, such as a print shop class, webpage design, and multiple college courses offer through Hutchinson Community College.

For the last two years, Cameron King has been a writer for Thousand Oaks High School’s award-winning student newspaper, The Lancer. This past year, Cameron took on a leadership role as sports editor. As an editor, Cameron is not only responsible for layout design, but also determining the focus of each piece and the angle in which they are written. This means he has to have knowledge in both women’s and men’s sports and the athletes who play them. This sounds like a “do-able” task, but in truth, it takes much thought, research, preparation and communication. Why? Because not only does Cameron write and publish, he also commands a team of staff writers responsible for contributing to his section of the paper. In this capacity, Cameron continues to demonstrate strength as a leader and mentor. Cameron has a way of cajoling his team into working a little later or a little harder, so even though the sports

My school of the future will offer many classes and classrooms for high schoolers. There will be a separate wing for each subject (math, science, social studies, etc.), as organizing a school like that makes for easier navigation and access to classrooms. I drew my school with all of the classrooms on outside walls for one reason: windows! I really love when classrooms have windows because it is something different to look at and in addition they are important for schools to have as the natural light is a drastic difference from the drab, beige-white walls of a school. If windows were not an option in my school, I would not hesitate to substitute skylights in for them. Moreover, to ensure that the students attending my school have the best education, I will have a large library. I personally love the library for two reasons: one because reading is a hobby of mine, and two because it is a quiet place to read, study, or just hang out. Furthermore, two out of the four science classroom will have a lab area to conduct experiments in. There will also be a kitchen in the Family and Consumer Sciences wing to make authentic foods in.
