Moving
Our School From a Great |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Monday, July 16, 2007 was an historic day for the Hammond High School community. On that day, the first Teen Summit for School Improvement was held on the campus of Hammond High School. In attendance were committed, energetic, and excited student leaders, staff members, as well as strong supporters from our community. They put their energies into sharing what they thought we should do as a school community to move our great school toward becoming a phenomenal school. |

Many
of the students continued in leadership roles by participating in the Principal's Advisory Council, which is charged with keeping Principal Burke informed of the issues that most concern the students of Hammond High School. Representing the Principal's Advisory Council is the Principal's Advisory Council Executive Board of students who meet regularly throughout the school year with Mr. Burke to discuss the Advisory Council's concerns. |

| The
information that was generated during the day had a very positive impact on Hammond High School improvements for the 2007-2008 school year. An after school study program was developed, a new marquee was ordered and installed, and new lockers were purchased and installed as a direct result of the 2007 Teen Summit. |

The
2008 Teen Summit for School Improvement, held on June 23, continued
the tradition that was begun with the first Teen Summit. Once again, committed
and energetic students gave positive input on several topics that will ultimately impact the entire study body, faculty and staff at Hammond High School. Several members of the 2007-08 Principal's Advisory Council acted as facilitators along with Hammond High staff and members of the community. |

| Topics
discussed were appropriate dancing, on time arrival to school, how to improve the percentage of students eligible for extracurricular activities, persistent classroom disruptions by students, and what assistance students need from the school to help them achieve the Maryland Technology Literacy Standards for Students. |
