WE ARE YOUR TEACHERS
Help us make a difference
The Teacher Appreciation Event at Chapman's Brewing Company in Electric Works was a big success: Special Guest Jennifer McCormick was a rock star, the food was delicious, and the teacher bands were great - thanks to everyone who contributed to this special evening!
IMPORTANT ALERT:
HER FUTURE IS AT STAKE
If the State Board of Education passes the IDOE's proposed changes to the high school diploma, Indiana's students won't meet the minimum college entrance requirements. Students may lose the chance to take World History, or learn a second language, or take classes in music or art since these courses will no longer be required. Instead, Indiana's students will be encouraged to work at jobs outside of school to meet graduation requirements.
