At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security.  When former Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell made this statement, she probably did not realize how prophetic those words would become throughout our country and more recently in our schools. Who would have guessed 50 years ago that we would need to have in place the safety protocols that schools do today?

January is typically a time of reflection and change but also a time of thankfulness for the opportunities we have been given. The opportunity I have as superintendent of Social Circle City Schools places me in a very important position, that of seeing student successes in many arenas. The pride I see throughout the district is testament to the many changes and improvements we see in both academic achievement and various programs and athletics.

Happy New Year! It really is astounding to think that we are here in 2017. New year. New start. This is the time of the year we resolve to make changes to improve in many aspects of our lives. We decide to lose a few pounds, start an exciting exercise plan, be a bit kinder. We all seem a bit more hopeful at this time of year. We vow to move forward and not look to the past. Past is the past, we say. But is it really?
