Welcome to the Haleyville High School Renaissance Blog. Why have a Renaissance blog? Because blogging is cool. More importantly, our students are important to us at Haleyville High School and we believe in all of them and want them to be successful academically and in life.As such, we thought that it was important to establish a blog to share some of the great things going on in our school as a result of the Renaissance process. This blog will be updated as we move forward in the 2007-2008 academic school year. Please make suggestions and comments to help us improve this blog and the Renaissance process.
The picture above is of our 2007-08 leadership team with Charley Nelson head of Jostens Renaissance Program and the picture on the left is from the 2007 Jostens Renaissance Awards Banquet. This year the Jostens National Renaissance Conference was held in beautiful Orlando, Florida. Like last year the conference provided a wealth of information about promoting academic excellence and citizenship within our schools. The students that we took with us were more than impressed by the conference and have great plans for the future and the process. If you're not familiar with the Renaissance process and you're trying to improve your school, then I suggest checking it out. Click Here!
Additionally, Mr. O'rear the Elementary Principal in our system with the help of some wonderful teachers, parents, and students presented for the first time at the National Conference. He did a wonderful job and plans to do even more with the process this year with the help of his faculty, staff, and student leaders. We hope to do the same at the High School.We want the student leaders that went to the conference to step up and take an active role in promoting the Renaissance process. So far they are doing a great job. They selected the theme "This is my now." The theme means that it is our time to make a difference in our school and our society. We believe in our school and we believe in our people. Together with the Renaissance process we can make a difference. We just have to remember to live by the Latin theme of "Carpe Diem" and seize the day. After all, THIS IS MY NOW! Wish us luck...
Warm Regards
William Bishop (Bill)
