SACS Visit

J. H. House was recently visited by a team of educators from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as a part of our five-year self evaluation. What a wonderful opportunity to showcase the overall atmosphere of good citizenship here!  As our guests were arriving, one student fell in the hallway. Immediately he was helped up by one friend while another friend picked up the spilled items from his book bag.  That is truly showing compassion and a willingness to help others. A number of students saw black marks on the floors of the hall and immediately began to remove them. It was quite evident to our guests that the students here take great pride in the cleanliness and the appearance of our building. Students were very respectful of others as they talked softly in the cafeteria. One of our guests commented that it was a pleasure to eat with our students because they used such nice lunchroom manners. One thing for sure is that J. H. House students always rise to the occasion, and this time was no different.

Well I am apart of the SLT and the SACS commitee was supposed to come and talk to us but , the meeting goy cancled. I felt so un important and let down. I felt like I was not important enough to even have an adult conversation with the SACS commitee. I am so mad that just becuase I am a little kid I have a little mind becuase I don't. P.S I am very intellegent.

I read about this blog (although I don't quite remember where). I am impressed with the quality of the material. My congratulations to the principal and the students! Being able to communicate well through the written word is a goal we have for all of our students. It looks like at your school, you have found a great way to make the experience meaningful and fun.

Dear Dr. Buck, Thank you for your encouraging words. I have found blogging to be so rewarding in that I have an opportunity to hear from students about things which are important to them.

When I see marks in the hall I always try to clean them up to make our school look better.
