Welcome to Capeside Regional High School! As an administrator in the Instructional Support Program, I hope you will feel part of the CRHS community and education system. Capeside Regional prides itself as a school that encourages respect, diversity, and positive feelings of community, safety and acceptance (Handbook, 2013). Students will learn how to demonstrate innovation and creativity, take responsibility of their actions, and recognize they contribute to their local, national, and global communities (Greene, 2013) through various cultural opportunities and experiences. Please continue reading to learn how Capeside Regional High School offers a comprehensive educational experience for grades nine to twelve. Nestled between the towns of Oceanside and Capetown, the school serves a community of 23,992 residents (NEASC, 2013). Capeside Regional High School sits on 300,00 square feet of building space and includes 35 acres of sporting fields and grounds (NEASC, 2013). The student body has grown throughout the last ten years by 29% (NEASC, 2013) and currently enrolls 1,482 students (MDESE, 2013). One hundred and ninety-five staff members (M .Capablo, 2014) at CRHS are devoted to the school’s ongoing values of ensuring a safe, healthy environment for students to learn in (NEASC, 2013). The ethnic breakdown of student majority at CRHS is white (87%), English speaking (94.6%), and female (52.2%). CRHS data on ethnicity and selected populations is significantly lower than that of Massachusetts state average. For example, at CRHS 4.9% students qualify into a low-income household while at the state level, 37% of students are low-income. 10.4% of students with disabilities are enrolled at CRHS while the state average stands at 17% of t... ... middle of paper ... ...h the approval by the school council to initiate a new transition. Community members of Oceanside and Capetown as well and parents will learn about ALICE through a series of nightly meetings in the auditorium. Staff/faculty will be trained during professional development time. Students will then be slowly transitioned into learning ALICE with the help of Capetown and Oceanside police chief visits. The second half of meeting the objective continues into the 2014-2015 school year. Practicing more in-depth drills, obtaining teacher/student/parent feedback, and analyzing top safety concerns will help lessen fears of a new system. CRHS will be able to conclude its goal when it receives proper ALICE training accreditation from the ALICE academy. CRHS will then make new goals on a yearly basis to further the safety of its student population in an ever-changing world.

    Race can be a factor in obtaining a college degree. Some minorities, especially Hispanics and African Americans, are at greater risk of not obtaining a college degree (O’Keefe, 2013). The Department of Curriculum and Instruction created the Recruitment and Retention of Minority Students Committee (RRMSC) in the spring of 2000 to evaluate methods for the recruitment and retention of minority students. Minorities identified were African American, Afro-Caribbean, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino and Native American (Hobson-Horton & Owens, 2004).

    The support that students from Middle School 244 receive from their teachers and counselors more than just surprise me. I would personally expect that level of compassion from a high school guidance counselor at the earliest. I believe it is that kind of support that will rebuild a school community, reshape students, and revitalize hope into not only the students but also the school’s faculty.

Another curious observation is the fact that laundry hanging on the line and other signs of occupancy were apparent, yet there were no children outside playing on a stunningly beautiful Saturday at noontime. On this particular day, there was an event at the University which brought a great deal of alumni and families to the campus. Interestingly, there were little to no minorities present beyond college age students when the public school system in the area is 90 percent minority children. The residents are nowhere to be seen. The entire scenario is enough to offer some serious concern about the politics of the area. More research is needed to fully interpret the information, and I will look forward to learning more about the educational system in rural Clarke County, urban Fulton County, and suburban Cobb County.

  • Importance of Historically Black Colleges and Universities

    The issue of whether HBCU’s are still needed have been occurring constantly in today’s nation. HBCU’s have been in existence for almost two centuries now. Their principal mission is to educate African Americans, and they have. HBCU’s graduate more than 50% of “African American” professionals and public school teachers. But, HBCU’s have been facing challenges such as their decrease in diversity, financing, and graduate rates which has caused a speculation of their importance in today’s communities. I believe that HBCU’s are still needed.

    They only make about 25% in Advanced Placement classes, compared with 81% of white students and 87% of Asian American. Which they have been better prepared for college admission, but for minorities, there have been inequalities in the public school system. Rich, talks about a document with 37 pages that was issued by the Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education and the “administration urges state officials, superintendents and Principals to monitor policies and facilities to make sure they are equitably distributed among students of all races” (Rich). That way student may have equal access to programs that the schools may offer. Motoko Rich continues making more references about the Education Department. And they have some data collected, which says that the gaps point to a constant inequality for minorities in the public school system. One point that the Education Department makes is black and Hispanic students are less likely to have teachers who do not meet all the requirements, which the state needs to meet.. There are schools with high groups of minorities and they are more likely to have portable buildings, than those who have a large number of

  • High School Class Day Essay

    Good morning teachers, faculty, administrators, family, friends, and of course students. It is a great privilege to be standing here today and representing our class on our eighth grade Class Day. Can you believe it? Four years ago, most of us walked into this school as nervous as we were the first day of school. We were the tiny fifth graders, the youngest students in this middle school, not knowing where anything was and how to navigate the school. Now, those same four years later, we’re leaving this school behind to a whole new school being just as nervous as we were when we first arrived. It has been a long four years as well as a short four years. Long because of all the tests, quizzes, finals, and projects, but short because of the lifelong friendships, the lasting memories, and the truly interesting and amazing things we learned in-between. The Abington Heights Middle School is definitely a welcoming, fun, memorable, and great school that I will never forget. These four years spent with these wonderful classmates has been an extraordinary journey with many cherishable memories.

    The school is a popular non-denominational 11-18 Comprehensive High School for girls, with some boys in the Sixth Form. There are approximately 1670 students on roll with the Sixth Form making up 370 of this number. The school, formerly on three sites in a leafy, middle class suburb, has occupied a new single site PFI funded building on the outskirts of Wallasey since 2003. The change in location means that the school now serves a more diverse socio-economic catchment area, including Birkenhead North. The new nature of the student intake reflects this. The school now has a higher than average numbers of girls who are entitled to free school meals. The majority of students are White British but the school also has students with English as an additional language. As a comprehensive, the school caters well for students with learning difficulties and physical disabilities and even though the proportion of students with identified learning difficulties is the same as those found nationally the school currently has fewer students with SEN statements than in previous years.

    Ralph Bunche Middle School in Compton as a requirement for my BSW degree. I am fortunate to have been assigned to this location because it resembles the area where I grew up. It gives me the opportunity to serve similar at risk students from neighborhoods that suffer from poverty and gang- ridden violence. Of utmost importance, I have the opportunity to work with the students and their parents, which are mostly minorities. I try to empower the children and gain their families support, and allow them to know college is attainable! Achieving a higher education is essential and serves as a deterrent to joining gangs, doing drugs, or becoming another statistic. One heart felt experience came after one of the students shared a story describing his living situation. This young 7th grader was the victim of a horrible situation. Both of his parents were incarcerated, which resulted in him being placed in a foster home. I was disheartened by his story. I was able to assure him because I once was in his shoes. I shared my experience of having to deal with similar obstacles, such as having no positive influences in my life. I felt that I instilled hope in him and let him know he was never alone. I hope to continue bringing about positive change in the youth and shaping their

  • Racial Inequalities In Schools

    From the beginning we have been dealing with racial inequalities that exist in our educational system. The ethnic and racial composition of the United States is changing dramatically and is more than likely to continue at a remarkable pace. (Johnson 2009), documented trends suggesting a “browning” and “graying” of the United States population as Hispanic and Latinos immigrate to the United States in large amount of numbers. The gap between white and black students is declining. In 2007-2008, more than fifty- percent of black and Latino students combined attended city schools and about sixty-percent of white students were enrolled into suburban schools. African Americans are twelve percent of the school population, but twenty-one percent of the students are in special education and Latinos are fifteen percent of the schools population, and seventeen percent
