Southwest Guilford Middle: 2007-2008 School Year Begins

Here is a list of our staff at Southwest Guilford Middle School for the 2007-2008 school year.

Here is some biographical information about my teammates (Donna Navey, Scott Pugh, and Steve Russillo) and me.

Our Midnight Riders team (eighth grade) was going to be an all-male-teacher team, but Adam Duncan decided not to return. We'll miss Adam, but we're certainly happy to gain Donna.

We started our first official workday with a half-day retreat at the Woman's Club of High Point, which is not too far from our school. Although most of our staff members returned, we have several new people on our staff, including Beverly Wilson, our new principal, and Billy Hardy, our new assistant principal. Gloria Ramsey, our other assistant principal, has been at our school several years.

Alan Hooker was our keynote speaker, and he gave a great motivational speech. I remember reading about Mr. Hooker's accomplishments as the quarterback for N.C. A & T State University's football team. (Click here, and scroll to page 14 (of 20) to see a photograph of Mr. Hooker speaking.)

We returned to our school after a great lunch at the Woman's Club. With today now nearly over, we have three workdays to get ready for our students, who return Tuesday, August 28th.
