My Experience At Rockingham County High School

From what I have been through, my current high school experience has not been meeting my expectations. After speaking with friends and parents, I believe that Archbishop Mitty High School can provide the experience that I am seeking. One aspect I am looking for is a larger campus, school community and a safer environment. I feel that the size and location of Archbishop Mitty will help enhance my learning experience. Something else I am looking for in my new high school experience is more school spirit and camaraderie. I have attended many sports events at Archbishop Mitty and I have thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm and spirit of the environment. One last reason is that I am looking for a school that can provide a larger class selection with

Chamblee, GA is a small city outside of the metro Atlanta area that is characteristically different racially and ethnically than everything around it. The Hispanic population stands at 58.5% of the total population as of 2010, but in Atlanta and Georgia more broadly, this population only makes up 5.2% and 8.8% respectively. Additionally, only 7% of Chamblee’s population is Black, whereas this group is 54% of Atlanta’s population and 30.5% of Georgia’s. However, my alma mater, Chamblee Charter High School, stood out from the city itself being an amalgamation of a magnet program and a charter public school, bringing in students from around the county with significant representation from the Chamblee area as well. Consequently, the school’s

Due to the large Caucasian community that resides in Cabot, it is essential for the school district to provide opportunities for students to be exposed to diversity. Although a school district cannot change its population make-up, it can provide opportunities to its students that teach diversity, tolerance, dignity and respect. Students must realize that, although their every day encounters with students during their school years are limited in regards to diversity, the world that awaits them when they graduate is composed of people of different races, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, etc. It is essential that the Cabot School District provide not only a sound academic foundation for students but a highly, diversified cultural foundation, as well.

Carolina High’s demographic make-up contains 45.1% African American, 29.3% Hispanic, and 25.6% Caucasian and other. Of the population, 100% of the students receive free and reduced lunch, which is reflective of the poverty that exists in the community. There are

Getting the ability to interview one of my past teachers was an awesome experience. I had the luxury of talking to one of my former high school teachers and Student Council advisor Tessa Gargano. We have a great reputation together and basically know each other like the backs of our hands.

I did my study for this assignment in Stokes County, North Carolina which is where I recently moved to from Iowa. Stokes County is made up of several small towns but King, which is where I live, is the largest town. Stokes County is in the middle northern part of the state near the Virginia border, a mountain chain, and a lot of wilderness. Some of the towns are incorporated and some are not and a few only claim to be villages. Using the Population Economic Status Assessment, I looked at the State & County Quick Facts last revised: Feb-2015 and found that the county population is at about 46,588. The Caucasian population makes up 93.8% of the population, African American 4.4%, Hispanic 2.7%, and the remainder is 1.1%. The

Reviewing the syllabus on our American History course I recall skimming each module to see what eras of history were selected for us to review, research and respond in essays and Moodle. . The internet was my primary resource to find information gather facts, as well as having the honor to interview several people who served or observed for our final project on the Vietnam War. Post the assignment I was left with various feelings from embarrassment, hurt, anger, hopeless, and hopeful simultaneously. I leave this course with a better understanding of the polar and bitter political views of our parties, and with a greater sense of personal responsibility to become part of the solution long term.

“Success isn’t just about what you accomplish in your life; it’s about what you inspire others to do.” Throughout my four years at Sartell High School, I have tried to do what I can to help others and inspire others to be better people and do great things. I have worked to do this through many aspects of my school life, whether it is through Student Council, on the soccer field, or in the classroom. I have also taken the time to mentor a student in Sartell Middle School through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and it not only made an impact on his life, but it also changed mine for the better. My experience as a mentor at Sartell Middle School has been long and enjoyable, and I believe that it has allowed me to grow into the person I am today.

The instructional setting includes three eleventh grade United States History Honors classes in a large urban high-income region of Clark County School District in Nevada. The student body count for the current school year, 2014-2015, was 3,021 121 of which were enrolled in the focus classes. 28% of this population is receiving free or reduced lunch. Of the 3,021, the majority of students are Caucasian, making up 52%, with another 21% identified as being Hispanic, and 13% as African American. Class sizes range from thirty-five to forty-three students. As the focus group is an Honors level setting there are typically no at-risk or special-needs students present.

Over the course of my life, I have incurred numerous challenging situations. Although most challenges are short term in in the grand scheme of things, my longest and ongoing challenge would definitely be attending Cedar Hill Collegiate High School.

Im sitting here looking outside my window, at the trees while thinking "What am I going to say for this essay?" As it is my fourth time writing a high school essay, I'm nervous as you may know from the way the opening of this essay sounds. I currently attend William L Dickinson high school, which was never my plan. Last year I was an eighth grader at Academy I thinking that my school name would help me get into a good high school but I was wrong. I've always wanted to go to County Prep High School, but unfortunately last year in April, everything changed. Thats when I got my big rejection letter. I have really bad anxiety so waiting for the letter was a pain. Then finally "We regret to inform you" the five dreaded words that every applicant

right mindset at this point of my life. I was 28 years old. Maybe I needed to live more of my life before I start writing this book. I took my trash and grabbed my newspaper and notebooks and walked back to my apartment.

When work began on this I wasn’t sure of it’s purpose. Would I tell a grand story about how growing in a prep school can change someone for life? Would I illustrate the benefits, and shortcomings of this education; or, would it present itself as something entirely different? While unsure of direction, an obstacle formed. I spoke with friends of my idea to capture this journey we had shared and looked to them on guidance in ways to poise this account. During winter vacation of my sophomore year of college I was sitting with two of the greatest friends I’d met from this school. Sitting in my quaint colonial house a moment which was similar to many others swirled around us. Us a group of young Alumni were sitting in a round table laughing and crying over memories of our mysterious congregation across the brook. With these women I began to realize what this book would be. I set out to write a tribute and collection of wisdom and lessons I had collected during my time at Wooster School. The journey shared by my classmates is unique, and treacherous. Our stories should be looked at through a lens of humor and met with questions. We’ve had experiences unheard of amongst college peers. For this reason. I am choosing to share what went on beyond the cloistered moments of private schooling.

As a history teacher, I want my students to truly learn history, not just memorize dates. In order to achieve this I will divide the class into groups of four or five students each. Then I will have each group pick a piece of history that they want to study from a selection that the class is going to learn about on American history. I will let the groups choose which event they want to have because students learn better, when they are interested in the subject. According to the textbook Introduction to Teaching, students “best courses were those that had them work on projects (e.g., science projects) that allowed them to solve problems that were interesting to them or to write about topics that were important to them” (Kauchak & Eggen, 2014, p. 157). This project will make learning a fun experience for them while providing skills to work together as a team to

I received the opportunity to observe at Jefferson Elementary School. The school is located in Jefferson, Georgia and educates children from pre-kindergarten to second grade. Jefferson Elementary School strives to supply the children with the best education and learning environment possible. The school consists of mainly Caucasian students. “628 students, or 76.9% of the student population at Jefferson Elementary School identify as Caucasian, making up the largest segment of the student body.” (Jefferson Elementary School in Jefferson, Georgia) I volunteered from 8:00 AM
