Halstead High School: Case Study

Beth Walton and I were able to interview Jeff Waldron the Principal at Newton High School.

The time has come for the students at Saltillo High School to wave goodbye to their principal. In a short amount of time, Mr. Devaughn will retire and leave the student body to wonder who will lead them next. Now students must consider their expectations of how a principal should carry out their job. The school board should take into account these expectations when choosing who they wish to represent the school. After much thought, the students of Saltillo High School have decided that they need a principal who can create a good school community, discipline the students, and act fairly.

At East Granby High School, there are no honor codes or a system that would cultivate integrity and prevent cheating and plagiarizing. This is troubling because cheating and plagiarizing play a large role in the school’s community. For example, some teachers have had to make different versions of tests to prevent cheating in the classroom. By establishing a system in which students would have to sign a statement ensuring that they would not cheat, steal, or plagiarize on any of their assignments at the beginning of each quarter, the community as a whole would benefit through the maintaining of the honesty of more of the student body. Even though honor codes would not eliminate dishonorable behavior entirely, the act of signing a statement would make those who cheat or plagiarize understand the reality of their actions. Furthermore, the principles within the system could explain the punishments that would be administered for the violating of the established code. The student body at East Granby High School would benefit from the formation of an honor system that would provide rules that made it clear that cheating, stealing, and

Melody chose try out for Spaulding Street Elementary's quiz team because both Catherine and Mrs. V encouraged her to prove everyone wrong and make the team (153-154, 158-160). However, she has more obstacles in her path than just knowing the right answers. In order to try out for the team, Melody has to convince Mr. D that she is worthy of even attempting to try out, despite getting a perfect score on the practice test. She must also face the ridicule from her classmates over the idea. Additionally, Melody must conquer her own doubts and fears that she is not good enough to make the team. Nevertheless, instead of wallowing in self-pity because of the unique and challenging circumstances surrounding her tryout, she spends her time and energy preparing for the quiz.

On December 4, 2015, I, Cpl. Lessane, with the Hampton County Sheriff’s Office, responded to Estill High School, in the county of Hampton, regarding a female and son disturbing the School. Upon arrival, I spoke with the School principal, Mr. Lee, who stated on December 3, 2015, Ms. Singleton came to the school house and caused a disturbance.

Roseville Area High School, locally referred to as “RAHS”, possesses a schedule similar to that of an immense quantity of public schools throughout the United States. Due to such similarities to the standard American education system, the typical weekly schedule has applied, allowing a period of rest consisting of Saturday and Sunday often taken for granted by modern society. However, despite the separation of days within the majority of the school year having proven optimal, the time in which one is expected to be prepared for awaiting academic endeavors, currently identified as 8:10 AM, has been scientifically revealed as detrimental to health, as pubescent individuals necessitate an immense period of sleep in accomodation to daily assignments. In addition to

According to the article from The Boston Globe, Josh Goldenburg, a student at Boston University, suffers from double vision and balance problems after jumping out of his house when an unexpected fire started. Universities in the Boston area don’t provide enough on-campus housing for the amount of students they accept, leading to terrible off-campus living conditions. Students are living with sometimes up to 12 people, making the houses overcrowded and living in closed off front porches and dining rooms. The owners of the house make rent very expensive because they know the kids don’t have anywhere else to live. A lot of the houses haven’t had inspections in years, causing the houses to have dangerous safety hazards and in cases like Goldenburg’s,

Imagine the chaos that could come from students being able to write about whatever they want in the school newspaper. Things that could hurt other people's feelings by writing about them or creating stories that bring students to argue about their opinions. Students should be limited on what they can say in a school newspaper because it invades people's privacy, creates conflict, and affects kids education.

With this intention, they want to create a greater sense of community, school pride and respect amongst students, and the hope to reduce disruptions because of inappropriate clothing(newlondon.org).” In this case, their efforts have paid off. According to the 2015 The Day article titled, New London High School no longer a 'turnaround school'. No longer does New London High represent a position in the lowest 5% of performing schools in the state(Bessette, Drelich 2015). The Day article also reflects upon the Principal's comment regarding the school's academic improvement, it reads, “We knew if we focused on the right things, then good things would happen(Bessette, Drelich 2015).” In effect, this could be due to a number of reasons, from sharpened academics and improved behavior to a change in attitude. With this in mind, the captivation of uniforms seems to have guided the school and the students in a positive

School for some people is not a fun place to be, but at Riverside Middle School, there are a lot of things about the history, about the structure, and about the resources. Riverside Middle School has had a rough history because this school was a segregated school. Segregated means to be separated and the school was separated because of race. Riverside Middle School used to be a Riverside High School didn’t have the resources for the students to learn because of financial purposes. Riverside High School had one Bunsen burner in the science lab and this was hard because there were a lot of students. Riverside Middle School has a lot of great resources that help us learn. Some of these resources are chromebooks, the library, the computer lab

We experience many ethical issues throughout our lives, sometimes on a daily basis. Some teach us how to act, while others teach us how not to act. Despite seeing them so often, many of us fail to acknowledge them. Although, sometimes we do and we retain them for the rest of our lives. One ethical issue I have experienced is the treatment and opportunities students at Cookeville High School receive, compared to those of Upperman High School.

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

New Jersey Public Schools today are so focused on preparing students for college that they are failing to prepare students for life. If one were to read through the ‘Middletown Township Public Schools High School Course Selection Guide 2016-2017’ they would see that Middletown High School North offers classes such as Effective Oral Communication, College and Career planning, Child Development, and Culinary Arts. One thing is missing: Shop Class. Middletown Township High Schools can teach us how to cook, speak in front of a large audience, prepare for college, and take care of children but they do not teach us how to do simple home repairs or even provide us with access to learning about the ‘Blue Collar’ field. The only way students will learn
