If I Were Principal at Pinecrest High School

“ An Open Letter to Ninth Graders “ offers advice to students on making the transition from high school to college. Many studies and reports have argued that there is an expectations gap between the skills students are typically bringing to college and what college teachers think students should be bringing with them to college. Patrick Sullivan advises the students to set a clear mind and specific long term goals that would be met over a period of time. He clearly provides a guide view that explains how to transfer and adapt to a higher stander.

Seniors have a tendency of taking their last year of high school for granted. They do not realize that the relaxed classes and fun filled weekends with their best friends will all soon come to a devastating end. They have applied for college, bought miniature refrigerators, and sent in their housing applications, but none of them have really thought about college in the way that they should. When asked about college most high school seniors image the huge parties, attractive people, and freedom; however, college is much more than that and, in a way, much less. College and high school are completely different when it comes to a student’s actual lifestyle, but they have many of the same traits that most high school seniors do not see coming.

The school is responsible for designing and implementing strategies to reach the educational goals of students. The particular high school beliefs that all kids can learn and that the mission of this school is to challenge each student to learn, achieve, and fulfill his /her potential. Principals should lead each school in implementing the policies. In addition, this high school’s improvement plan of the three legal issues: unsupervised students, hallways, and field

Finally, the day is almost here. Excitement builds as a senior gets closer and closer to graduation. For many, high school is torture. It is a jail. It is boring and horrific. Students long for a taste of freedom during their high school experience. However, what one desires is not what is best. High school is a place where students get ready for college, and sadly, many are not ready. An extra year for students in high school will give them an opportunity to become prepared for college. For many students, four years of high school is not enough for college. Extending high school to five years would allow students to have a looser schedule, and allow them to be economically and mentally ready.

As we go on in life we face many challenges and new situations that we deal with. A new situation that most people deal with is college and all the changes that come along with it. What many people don't realize is that high school, in many ways, is similar and differrent from college. Not only are people changing but the surroundings and work change as well. There are some things that seem to never change such as some work and people.

High school students see adulthood as an entirely new world that they must navigate, and unfortunately, many high school students are just not ready for it. Instead of throwing high schoolers into the jungle of adulthood without warning them of the many responsibilities that they must bear, why not give them, at the least, a taste of what they need to know before they

As you can see, there are many different opinions about the worth of college and the changes that could be made. Those on all sides of this debate aim to meet the same objective: finding the most beneficial path for students after high school graduation. The opinions in this debate range from believing that college couldn’t be worth the cost, to believing that it is always essential to finding a job and that it is always worth the cost in the long run. Though many debates have been made about the worth of the current college experience and the changes that could be made, little has been said about the changes that could be made at in the high school classroom in an effort to

As a senior in high school, questions regarding college and my plans for the years following graduation are asked to me on a day-to-day basis. College is definitely the most important thing I am focused on this year, and although a college degree is highly valued in the job field today, many argue that not everyone should attend college due to the fact that it brings a new level of responsibility that many cannot handle, many careers now do not require a four-year degree, and because students no longer have the desire to learn.

Introduction High school, senior year, prom, graduation, but what’s next? College? Trade school? Military? Each year millions of students graduate high school and are faced with the choice of what to do next.

Our Principal at Peoria Notre Dame High School allows change. My grade school principal hadn’t changed a thing, during my time in grade school. Mr. Simmons brought new traditions to school. For example, recognizing all the sports and clubs after school mass for their accomplishments. He hired new and younger faculty members, to create a better environment for young people.

There are many problems in every school worldwide. Some have less problems than others. If my school received one million dollars, people would be going crazy. Everybody would be running wild telling everybody there ideas. I have many ideas but there are three main ideas that I would like to share. New bleachers, less people per classroom, and a restaurant will make a great impact on the school.

My role in contributing to an outstanding educational program would be one of support. As the principal I would be supportive of teachers by encouraging innovation and planing activities that would enhance learning that extends beyond the classroom. As principal, I would also foster leadership and collaboration among staff. I would be supportive of students and families. It is important for families to know that school staff is there for their children and have their best interests at heart. I would be supportive of our PTSO and work to further develop community support and involvement. Furthermore, as principal I would support the development of the whole child. From academics to social/emotional development from athletics to the arts, middle

If I was elected for president, I would make many good changes. These changes include things like giving out awards to people who get principal scholars, presidential fitness award, etc. I would also give speeches about how to make the school better, congratulate the people who achieve something in sports, and I would have fundraisers to invest in audio recording cameras. I would elect hallway monitors to make sure that everyone is getting to their next class, and getting the supplies they need.

With senior year comes many of the last. The last first day, last football game, last prom, last chicken patty, and last pick’em up and put’em down, but with the lasts comes many of the first. The first question they are faced with. “So…what’s next?” With the ever changing world, they are faced with the possibilities, options, and opportunities are everywhere awaiting them. They can become anything they want. What will they choose and how will they choose?

In the college fair there was a State Agency that could help students what to do after high school. The lady that represented the Agency; her name was Lorena Knight. She explain how students something don't know what to do and that the Agency could help them. They have a website that helps students how to budget their money predicting how much money the receive annually on the study, or work, they are trying to study. At her booth she gave guides beyond high school and financial aid programs, in addition, she spoke about career tips and for better understanding she gave pamphlet of information. Moreover, she mentions what is more helpful overall, “develop soft skills now so that you can do better than your peers.”
