Welcome to our high school!  We are looking forward to a very productive and enjoyable school year!  Since I have joined the Junction City team, which was only a few years ago, I have learned that this community values their schools very much.  Of course, we are always looking for involvement and input into ways to improve the educational process, and environment in which our students learn.  Therefore, my office door will always be open for anyone to drop by to ask questions, possibly volunteer to assist, or become a member of a committee.  We definitely want our community to know that they are a part of our team!  Matter of fact, working together truly is the biggest key to success of students at any level.  The following poem has always been a favorite of mine and it expresses how important a good relationship between the school and home is….which, in my eyes, encompasses our total community

THE  SCULPTOR

I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child’s mind
And they fashioned it with care.
 One was a teacher; the tools she used
Were books, music, and art.
One, a parent who worked with a guiding hand
 And a gentle, loving heart.
Day after day the teacher toiled
 With a touch that was deft and sure,
While the parent labored by her side
 And polished and smoothed it o’er.
And when at last their task was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought;
For the things they had molded into the child
Could neither be sold or bought.
 And each agreed she would have failed
 If she had worked alone,
For behind the teacher stood the school
And behind the parent, the home.                                                                                             Author Unknown
