Welcome to the SKHS Principal's blog

When I was reviewing our revamped website with our Multi-media/AV tech guru, Diane Kroll, she pointed out that there was a place on the website for postings from the principal. It reminded me that I have been toying with the idea of blogging about SKHS for quite some time. While my admitted bias towards blogs has been circumspect given the plethora of Seinfeldian (blogs about nothing) blogs out there, I have grown more appreciative of their use in schools as I have observed the benefits of blogging from teachers like Kimball, J. Johnson, Buxton and Matteson. I do see it as a vehicle for providing some context to how we make decisions at SKHS, as well as describing some of the wonderful stories that occur here on a daily basis which rarely get shared to a wider audience than those who are directly impacted. While I still have some concerns, I do view my conversation with Diane as a signal that I need to discipline myself to post something once a week and take it from there. I hope you find the subject matters of interest and my writing at least tolerable. In generating topics this morning, I quickly brainstormed a list varying from the boys’ volleyball team’s thrilling victory over NK a few weeks ago to ninth grade transition programs to explaining what happens on Wednesday mornings during Common Planning Time. The topics are endless; I hope I pick some that resonate with you.
