A Proud Eagle

As I sat at the Assistant Principal/Dean of Students Summit in Mt. Pleasant earlier this week, I was reinforced that Lakeland High School is truly a great place for academics, athletics and the arts. I listened as other administrators talked about the weaknesses of some of their staff and once again realized how lucky I am to be surrounded every day by teachers and support staff who believe in education and believe in the students of Lakeland High School. I listened as others talked about the loss of some of their athletics due to budget cuts and thought how fortunate we are that we have an athletic director who is willing to go out and raise money to keep our athletics at such a high level. Lastly, I heard of cuts to other districts arts programs and thought of how our arts are at an all time high. The art classes we teach, the incredible band, our video program and our thespian company (in conjunction with the Lakeland Players) are all something within me must take pride.

Every morning I walk through the doors of Lakeland High School proud to be part of the Eagle family.
