I became a teacher to help people. Students across the country are slowly losing the drive to gain an education. For many, school is a place they are told to go to every day, but what they can't see is the choice. They choose to get on the bus or walk to school. They choose to go to class. They choose to graduate. Aliquippa has the potential to mold the student population into respectable members of society, but only if the students choose to respect their school. We need every student to take their share of responsibility to make their school better. Students need to choose to learn. Students need to choose education over wasting time and acting out. I am going to do everything I can to build upon the positive choices our students make. Aliquippa has a long history of achievement, and with the help of the students, the parents/guardians, and the community, we can work to change our school for the better. Students need a learning environment that focuses on the professional expectations they will see as they move out of high school and into society. Aliquippa maintains many policies that govern what is appropriate and acceptable, and I will make it my task to enforce those policies, especially those that work toward professionalism including language, dress code, being on time, being prepared, and respect (for self, community, and school).
