United High School Community Analysis

Crawford County, Kansas is very familiar to me; it is where I was born and raised and now, as an adult, it is where I work as a nurse. Barriers to healthcare exists in every community. There is a high amount of poverty in Crawford County that contributes to barriers to access to healthcare. Furthermore, Crawford County has several stakeholders that influence the health of the community and advanced practice registered nurse (ARNP) practice. In this assessment of my community, I will identify Crawford County, as well as prevalent health care barriers and important stakeholders in my community.

In the course of my time at Union County College, I was able to participate in measures that aided my community and those in need. I took part in the donation and creation of care bags which were donated to the Salvation Army. This initiative was made by AESNJ as part of their statewide drive to help those who lack the resources needed to obtain day to day necessities such as hygienic supplies, socks, tissues and other essentials. Additionally, I made a financial contribution which went towards aiding Syrian children. Helping individuals in need encouraged me to participate in Strides against Breast Cancer a walkathon which generated money for women whose lives were impacted by cancer. The financial donations assisted women who were unable

As a new charter school located in a vibrant neighborhood in Wilmington, our school has worked directly with neighbors, community groups, local nonprofit organizations and local elected and government leaders to establish a good relationship and prepare the way for our students and families to benefit from our neighborhood and location. The Brandywine neighborhood where our school is located is in the center of downtown Wilmington, easily accessible to many local businesses and government agencies, and area neighborhoods, by foot and by public transportation. We have worked extensively with local community groups, agencies and organizations to ensure that the relationship between our school and the community is mutually beneficial. When

The reason of the National Honor Society is to assist the community through the use of community service. The students selected in this course must have strong academic goals and achievements while at the same time being students people are comfortable socializing with. The National Honor Society promotes to the community to allow to see the students grow and achieve as well as the surroundings around them.

Understanding a community is essential when planning for instruction. My current placement is at Kofa High School which is a located in an urban community –Yuma, Arizona- with an estimated population of 93,000 people. It is fundamental to recognize that Yuma’s population mostly consists of Hispanic and White people. Although English is mostly spoken in this area, Spanish is commonly heard in the community due to the high Hispanic population.

For the past 17 years, Elk Mound has been my home. When most people drive through the village on highway 12, they glance ahead, not noticing the community around them. The people living, working, or attending school here are not only my friends, but in a way, my family. I have grown up with people who have more in common with my rather than just where we live. There are 66 young adults in my class today, and I have known everyone’s name since first grade. Attending a small high school has given me multiple opportunities to join a variety of clubs. If I am playing a basketball game, running in a meet, or participating at the State Academic Decathlon meet, I see familiar faces from my community. The support of a small community is personal. Since

Herndon High School has embraced the following mission statement, “All Hornets Are Capable of Success, No Exceptions!” Herndon became a Kids At Hope school. Herndon encourages students to believe in their individual potential and challenge themselves to define success. They understand the importance of finding hope in the face of adversity. Students when presented with challenges see the opportunity for change and growth. Last year, in the first implementation year of Kids At Hope, the HHS faculty and staff focused on creating a culture where WE BELIEVE in the success of all of our students, NO EXCEPTIONS!. The real strength of the Kids at Hope movement is the way adults interact with students and how students have come to interact with each

The personal stories shared in the chapter provide a more extensive explanation as to why the state should reconsider consolidating the school. On page 52, the school’s coach describes the relationship between the school and community: “The school’s kind of a focal point; anything that happens in the community is going to happen in the cafeteria, or it’s going to occur here in the gym” (Tieken 2014). Another account describes the school’s value as “That cemetery dinner is not a school event; it’s a community event, but the school is the place to have it” (Tieken 2014, 53). The narrative provides evidence on the subject of building rapport between school systems and groups of individuals of Delight.

The Cabot School District is committed to meeting the needs of all students not only academically but also socially and culturally by creating an atmosphere that embraces diversity and provides students with meaningful diversified and multicultural educational opportunities.

Busch Middle School of Character had a wonderful sense of community, each student, instructor, and family, made sure they were doing their part. I believe it’s important for educators to understand the needs of the families and community of their students because the more resources the better. When schools actively involve parents

Growing up I have watched how each of these communities have come together to support individuals or families who have suffered great losses. This past summer, my school’s new athletic director passed away and many of the athletes and sports teams came together to help his family and bring them meals. The outpouring support was inspirational, even though the athletic director had only met the fall sports teams, those teams and families showed immense support for his family. This value was one I have seen in my family as well, my mother used to tell my sisters and I that the world is mean enough, we don’t need to be mean to each other. Even from a young age, my mom emphasized the importance of taking care of others, this value was only reinforced as I grew up. Having grown up around this value has motivated me to help others when possible and be supportive of friends when they need it. I am the treasurer of my school’s Doctors of Tomorrow Club, and throughout the year, we organize various drives to benefit the community, the blood drive, and volunteer at food banks. Each of these activities helps give back to not only our community but the D.C.

To be an inclusive society, a community must accommodate all children, providing them with the resources to accomplish their utmost desires. The barriers established by prejudice of past must be surmounted, as ethnicity does not define the principles of a person. The impoverished shall have their necessities satisfied, without the burdensome stigma from pompous individuals. This exemplifies the flawless utopia, a society brimming with bliss and opportunity. Yet, to a perplexing reality, while strides have been accomplished in involving minorities in superior programs, there is an underlying layer fear: the unease of success. Currently, less minorities are attempting to pursue higher classes, as they see these opportunities as being reserved

I can give to the Howard University community through excellence, leadership, truth and service by getting involved within the community. From what I know there are many opportunities Howard provides to get involved in student life. It’s important to me to connect and take pride in my school. Excellence is the goal. While being in the community I will constantly remind myself that I am there to have fun but ultimately to make something of myself and strive for success in my academics. If I strive in my academics, I know that I will strive in life. Leadership will help me put myself out there. It will help me get involve and take charge. I know that I am intelligent and I have a bright mind that will bring many ideas to the table. I want to

W. Edwars Deming, American engineer and management consultant, wrote “a bad system will beat a good person every time.” This quote demonstrates the necessity for a school administrator to establish a school culture that is inviting and characterized by collaboration. In order to intentionally create a welcoming and collaborative school climate, clear, frequent, and inclusive communication is fundamental. Families, staff, and community members should be afforded the opportunity to become involved in enhancing student learning, the decision making processes of the school, and meaningful school-based activities. Opening the lines of communication about possible involvement at a school promotes a good system, in which good people can thrive.

As the third largest urban school system in Pennsylvania, the Allentown School District (ASD) is very diverse. The students come from 51 countries and speak 26 different languages combined. Louis E. Dieruff High School, serves over 1,700 students in the ASD. 67% of students are Hispanic, 14% are black, 16% are white, and 2% are Asian (Pennsylvania Department of Education). Due to the diverse community in which they serve, ASD provides access to information for families regarding free child healthcare services, counseling services, psychological services, and agency hotlines just to name a few. Many of the students are economically disadvantaged and therefore, Dieruff is a Title I school.
