A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPALA new school year presents opportunities for various beginnings- new classes, new faces, sometimes new courses, andoften new materials. Summer and vacation can be great healers; and as we approach the opening day of a new schoolyear, the end-of-year pressures that plagued us in June seem quite remote and inconsequential.Newness alone; however, cannot produce transformation.We ourselves must be willing to be caught up in the rebirth that is possible with each new year. Starting a new year givesus the opportunity to make new plans, design new strategies, and implement new ideas. There is a special kind of joy andsatisfaction in planning lessons and activities for a new class; for although the subject or grade level is the same, thestudents are new, and they appreciate the planning that is done for them. Whether one's responsibility is administering,supervising, teaching, preparing lunches, maintaining a building, or managing an office, there is always room forimprovement and for new ways to do a job even better.We can be proud of what we have achieved-thus far at McNair High School-in our classrooms, in our offices, and ourplaying field and stages; but our achievements are not due to complacency and satisfaction with the status quo. Ourprogram is what it is because a staff of dedicated, aspiring men and women having a common goal-doing what is best forstudents; and are always looking for ways to achieve that goal.This year, as in the past, we must concentrate on the processes that spur continuing advancement: evaluating what wehave, determining what we can do to improve, and identifying what we need to make those improvements.Let us make 2008 - 2009 school year our best year yet!"The best teacher is the one who NEVER forgets what it is like to be a student. The best administrator is the one whoNEVER forgets what it is like to be a teacher."- Neila A. ConnersRonald E.
