As a reminder, Florida mandates require that students enroll in a
total of six (6) classes each semester. To help meet this mandate for
the fall 2008 term, counselors have enrolled students with five
credits in a an express class which began September 23, This class,
SLS 1711, is a college-level peer tutoring course taught by Ms.
Roberta Newman. Students will receive 2 hours of elective credit for
the time they spend each week in activities that support their
academic studies. Ms. Newman is responsible for facilitating this
process including helping the students learn practices and strategies
that will ensure their success in college classes. If you have any
questions, please contact Mrs. Connie Boyle or Mrs. Starla Metz.

The first Quad Event of the year, highlighting SPC clubs was held
on September 18th. Our students enjoyed the activities and
food while learning how they can participate in the wonderful
activities that SPC has to offer.
The College Night meeting for seniors and their parents on
September 18th was very successful. Mrs. Betts and Ms.
Boyle answered questions regarding college applications and
scholarships. Opportunities for scholarships and deadlines will be
shared with seniors during senior meetings so it is imperative that
seniors attend these meetings. Seniors don’t forget to check PrepHq
and the "Counselor’s Corner" on the SPCHS website weekly for important
information from Ms. Boyle and Mrs. Betts.
Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Delgato, curriculum
specialist, on her recent promotion. Mrs. Delgato is in the final
stages of completing her doctorate and has accepted a position as the
Director of Curriculum and Student Success within the College of
Nursing. Mrs. Delgato is an outstanding member of our team and will be
missed. Mrs. Delgato and I will be working closely to ensure the
continuation of service to our students and staff until we fill her
position. Best wishes to Mrs. Delgato in her new position!
I am very proud to announce some outstanding accomplishments by our
students. Dylan Sprague has been selected as a 2009 National Merit
Scholarship Program Semifinalist; Darrington Miller has been selected
as a 2009 National Achievement Scholarship Program Semifinalist; and
Amy-Joy Thompson, a 2008 graduate of SPCHS, has been selected as the
National Hospice Volunteer Award winner in the Young Adult category.
Amy and her family will be recognized in Dallas, Texas later in the
year.
Congratulations to these students and all of our students for their
exceptional achievement. Please notify me if your child wins an award
or is recognized in the community so we may honor him or her at the
SPCHS Move-up Awards.
Thank you for your continued support. I am confident this will be a
great year for our students.
Sincerely,
Starla Metz, principal |
