Dr. Pedro Noguera

Today we had the privilege of having Dr. Pedro Noguera speak to our staff members as part of the building based professional development on Superintendents Conference Day. Since the beginning of my doctoral course work I have been a huge fan of Dr. Noguera. His research focus is primarily on race and urban education. He often looks at school reform and how it will impact various races and he also does a lot of work focusing on decreasing the racial achievement gap.

His message was very powerful and a reminder of what urban schools must be doing for students in education.

If you ever have the opportunity to read his work, or see him speak I encourage you to seize the moment. Read more about Dr. Pedro Noguera. (Click here)

Charlotte High School Prom 2008

Time has flown by, and just the other night we had another successful magnificent event for our student body. We had our 2nd Annual Junior/Senior Prom. I am always amazed at how good our students look when they dress up. As expected our students had a great time and enjoyed another memorable night in their high school career.

My only wish is that more staff members would participate and attend this event so that they would view our students in a different lens and get a better understanding of what it is all about.

This event also brings us closer to graduation and now we only have a month.

The work continues!!!
