The principal’s advisory council met for the second time on October 12th with eleven juniors and seniors in attendance. The goal of having the advisory council is to create an open relationship with the administrators and the students.  The selected students meet with the principal once a month and discuss problems and concerns, such as accreditation, graduation rates, and APR points. This month, the advisory team learned about how the district is focusing on raising the APR points in algebra, ACT, and graduation rates.

“So far, I find the advisory council to be headed in a positive and constructive direction,” said senior Christina Thompson.

Burgdorf wants to stay connected to her students and learn what they need in a learning environment. The advisory council is going to help her obtain this goal for the upcoming school year.

“I am very excited about the implementation of the Principal’s Advisory Council and I am looking forward to getting closer to my students,” said Burgdorf.

In the meeting the students enjoy pizza as they discuss important matters, such as data about the student test scores, attendance, renovations to the school. Rumor control is also a focus of the discussions.

“I like being involved and knowing about the choices and decisions in the school,” said junior Andreielle Hawkins.
