Sophomore Academy Case Study

Pads crushing, whistles blowing, and scoreboards glowing. These were all sights during this year's 8th grade football season at Winterset Junior High. This team finished their Junior high football career 12-0, going 6-0 both years. To get there they had to go through some very talented teams such as Bondurant, Ballard, and Creston. In the third game of the season they matched up against the noticeably bigger Creston Panthers. The last play of the game had been called in, 946 O counter. Dawson Forgy of winterset got some room upfield and ran for another touchdown, making the final score 48-0. In the fifth game of the season vs the Bondurant Bluejays Dawson Forgy of Winterset had gotten hurt early on in the game. This propelled the Huskies to

The person involved in both investigations is Ms. Kassidy Pullara a fourteen year old T.C. Williams High School student. I contacted Doris L. Stanley (Guardian) and was granted access at school to interview Kassidy Pullara in school.

Even though freshman academies can be helpful, there is always some sort of fault about whether it is actually helping or not. Although students still merge with the rest of the school in elective classes, most freshmen would not appreciate being isolated because it gives them the inability to participate in school dances and sports activities (63). Usually, they have their own freshman teams and events. Some students feel that it 's the same as having two freshman years in high school. It has also been known to create rivalries between high school teachers who focus more on the freshmen rather than the rest of the school (McIntosh and White 46). Freshman academies can become ineffective if the teachers teaching them are not prioritizing these freshman students as the first priority. Schools would need a dedicated group of teachers willing to teach freshman and to help them adjust to the high school setting. Most of these problems are only social problems, however.

My first question: What population do you serve at this school location? Columbus High school population has a total of one thousand and three hundred student’s grades from ninth through twelfth grade.

On February 16, 2016, I was assigned this case to follow up. This case involves Ms. Jayla Ann Moore an Edison High School student in Fairfax County who now resides at 307 Yoakum Parkway Apt# 411. I contacted Jamie McCalister who told me her daughter is home until the school decides if they are letting her finish the school year or transferring her to T.C. Williams High School.

Brooklyn Technical High School is a high school that is inferior to ours that has been proven a leader in providing a quality education in various fields. The school was envisioned by Dr. Albert L. Colston. On October 18, 1918, he presented a paper to the Brooklyn Engineer’s club describing his dream. His paper was approved and his dream came to fruition in the spring of 1922 when the Board of Education approved the establishment of the school, which happened in the fall of that year. It’s initial location was in a warehouse at 49 Flatbush Avenue Extension. This area was near the Manhattan Bridge, which is where the icon of the school comes from, rather than the commonly thought Brooklyn Bridge. Colston became the first principal of the school.

What to change at Crown Point High School to make the school more fun? Crown Point should change how the teachers teach. Crown Point High School should have a more interactive learning system. The students at Crown Point High School relies on the classes to decide what they want to be after high school. The school should let their student go on field trips, for example, the biomedical students should go to Franciscan Alliance to see a real doctor and see how things work. By letting students go on these types of education field trip they will be able to learn hands on about what they want to be, instead of getting the information about a job off line

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,

Within the Bentonville community there are many things that people want changed but are so unwilling to accept such as the creation of a new high school. Before the ribbon cutting or breaking ground ceremony there was already tension amongst students about who was going to west and who was going to the better of the two schools which many believed to be BHS. Along with student tension there was also faculty tension. As tenth graders many students walked into classrooms where the teacher blatantly claimed they would not be going to West because Bentonville High School would always reign supreme in athletics, arts, and academics. As a student I have noticed within the beginning of the school year many things that should be addressed in our

For the success of Broken Arrow High School, Broken Arrow High School should offer more advanced classes and classes on campus so more students can participate school education. BAHS currently only has two college classes on campus and we are going to lose more advanced classes next year on campus. I found through surveying students that the majority of those surveyed have showed fifty-one percent of the students poll showed that they wanted more college classes and the other roughly forty-nine percent wanted more electives or other classes. Seventy-two percent of the students said that they would take the classes if they were offered. Seventy percent of the students said they would want BAHS to pay for their college classes on campus. The

Sophomore year of high school the required science class was Biology. I was excited because I've always loved science, but terrified because even though I loved it, I wasn't very good at it. I loved doing experiments and hands on but had trouble understanding the science behind it. When the first exam came, I was so anxious. But she was there for us the entire way, she stayed before and after school to answer questions. We would go through the review sheet and talk through what I didn’t understand. She made sure that I not only knew the information but knew why it was the way that it was. Ms. Bredeweg helped me understand the importance of knowledge and my love for science. She is the reason that I so passionately am becoming a nurse.

My son and I sat down one day to talk about what high school he should attend. St. Peters Boys High School was his first choice but I was concerned about the tuition and If I could afford to send him. He got very disappointed at that point, but I was being realistic with him and did not want to get his hopes up. My son Alfonso has been in the Catholic School system most of all his life. I want the same education to continue for him and felt that St. Peters will be a good fit for him. I want a great balance in academics and sports. I want him to excel in both areas and I feel St. Peters will be a good fit for him.

Peyton Smith is a senior at Greenville Central High School in New York City. She has a 4.2 G.P.A., is president of her school’s debate team, and resides with both of her parents in a suburban home. When Peyton was a freshman in high school, her parents were able to afford a family trip to Europe. There they spent two weeks shopping, site-seeing, and visiting colleges in the area. Ever since that trip, Peyton has been determined to attend Oxford University, one of the best schools in the world. Considering her stellar grade point average, and other extra-curricular activities, her acceptance should come easily.

The reason I would like to be involved with THON is because of the unique dynamic, atmosphere, and interactions that come out of the experience itself. After being on a committee last year I realized how much of an impact that the weekend and the experiences had on me and the people around me. THON is so much more than just a weekend or a dance marathon. It impacts the lives of thousands of children and their families by giving them hope, help, and support. I had the chance to interact with a THON child on the floor of THON 2017. He was able to tell me how much fun he had over the last several months leading up to THON coming to all the events from the 5k to the family carnival. After receiving numerous hugs and talking to his parents I
