Teacher Appreciation Week<br />

In 1985, the National PTA established Teacher Appreciation Week as the<br />

first full week of <strong>May</strong>. Expressing gratitude to our teachers for all they<br />

do is especially meaningful during Teacher Appreciation Week each year.<br />

Our children spend many hours a day with their teachers, who help<br />

mold them, shape their character, and teach them academic subjects they<br />

need to survive in this world. They also facilitate the many life lessons<br />

our kids face when we're not there to help or untangle the complications<br />

of interacting with their peers. When we consider the multiple roles each<br />

teacher assumes every day, their job becomes even more daunting, more<br />

challenging, and more noble.<br />

<strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Union</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is proud to have outstanding teachers dedicated<br />

to providing each student with positive learning experiences with care and<br />

compassion. It is not uncommon to find teachers in the building at 6 AM and<br />

well beyond 6 PM--working with students, planning learning activities, and<br />

collaborating with colleagues. The HUHS District wishes to commend all<br />

our teachers in doing an outstanding job this school year!<br />

If your child has the great fortune of having a really great teacher, please<br />

express your appreciation for their dedication and commitment and impact<br />

on your child. These special teachers deserve our respect and appreciation.<br />

"Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what<br />

they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care." ~ Horace Mann

Semester 2 Exam Schedule<br />

(Underclassmen)<br />

For 2011-12, the district chose not to have assigned<br />

semester exam days, allowing student exams to be<br />

held at each teacher’s discretion. Aligning with best<br />

research and practices, flexibility was given to best<br />

match the type and length of exam for each course.<br />

After reviewing the implementation of semester exams<br />

for first semester, we have decided to modify second<br />

semester exams to ensure students have a manageable<br />

schedule and provide ample opportunity to prepare<br />

for semester exams. The following exam schedule will<br />

be used for second semester for underclassmen.<br />

Senior Exams<br />

Note: The last day of classes for seniors is Thursday,<br />

<strong>May</strong> 31. Seniors are expected to take semester exams<br />

during regularly scheduled school days prior to <strong>May</strong><br />

31. At the discretion of the teacher, seniors may have a<br />

modified semester exam or an alternative assignment.<br />

Peplinski Talks to HUHS Students About The Dangers of Drugs & Alcohol<br />

HUHS students received a very important message on Wednesday: “You have<br />

the opportunity to start your life every single day by making the right choices.”<br />

These words were reiterated several times to the students by Germantown native,<br />

David Peplinski. Sponsored by HUHS and the Peers 4 Peers group, Peplinski<br />

spent 50 minutes talking with students about being at the height of his elite soccer<br />

career, when drugs and alcohol caused his life to spiral out of control.<br />

At 27 years old, Peplinski has a long list of accomplishments. While attending<br />

Marquette University <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, he was the first person in history to start, play<br />

in, and win four consecutive state soccer titles at MUHS. He was named to the top<br />

50 recruits in the nation going into college. And he was honored with the most<br />

prestigious award of his career, the Gatorade “Player of the Year Award” – an<br />

award that has been won by respected athletes like Kobe Bryant, Emmitt Smith,<br />

Mia Hamm and Lebron James. But added to that list of accomplishments is also<br />

a long list of failed second chances, lost scholarships, two DUI’s, and even a<br />

potentially life-threatening hit and run accident which landed him in the hospital.<br />

Beginning in high school, David explained to students that he was involved with<br />

drugs and alcohol very early on. Despite traveling around the world to play soccer by the age of 16, Peplinski<br />

admitted to having trouble finding himself. “I was cocky, I didn’t care about others, I wasn’t the greatest friend<br />

– but I was good at soccer and I was good at doing drugs” Peplinski said. “I could have done anything. I should<br />

have done everything.” After receiving a full-ride soccer scholarship to St. Louis University, Peplinski lost his<br />

scholarship after just his first season. After receiving a second chance, he was once again kicked out of school for<br />

selling drugs. But people “looked the other way” according to Peplinski, who then received multiple offers from<br />

other schools offering him scholarships to play soccer. With stops in Boulder, Colorado and the University of New<br />

Mexico, Peplinski continued to play soccer and break records – and he also continued to do drugs.<br />

Once again, Peplinski found himself kicked out of another university and back at home on his parents’ couch. After<br />

spending two months in rehab, it was the small task of making his bed each morning that helped him understand<br />

that he had the opportunity to change his life. “You only get one life. One chance to wake up each day and make<br />

the right decision,” Peplinski told the students. “I deeply regret not taking advantage of the opportunities that<br />

I had. Not everyone gets second chances. You need to realize that you only get one shot.” Peplinski has since<br />

graduated from college and speaks to young people about his experiences with drugs and alcohol.<br />
