The start of the school year will be a busy one. The administrative team and I have planned some training sessions that will help everyone define good management and instruction. This will help us grow and become stronger, while reaffirming what we already do that is good.

Through the process of collaboration, we are setting a course of excellence for Calhan. The goals that will be established belong to everyone and we will achieve them together. This will be the year we begin to align our definitions of education, our job descriptions, our curriculum our structure and our budget to reflect the goals of our Strategic Plan.

Next year we will align our evaluations and expectations. This sounds like a huge task, but in reality, we are doing many things well already. We need to unite the staff, students and community toward this common effort.

I invite your input and your help, please stop by the office or give me a call at 347-2541. Together we will make a difference.
