MLK Day Display 2010

Students are back from Christmas break, they've received their final exam grades, and things are happening here at the Governor's Academy. Martin Luther King Day was celebrated in every classroom and in special assemblies. We had two convocations our first week back: Frank Schaeffer spoke to us about spirituality and Chris Bradford told us about his work as a cofounder of the African Leadership Academy. The faculty also listened to Richard Ginsberg, who helped us understand how to promote emotional health  amongst students who are experiencing tremedous pressure to perform academicall and athletically. We reaffirmed our colre values, and to promote those values, teams of students, faculty and staff have formed to discuss the issues that face us and lead us into our next phase of growth.
