Message from Mr. Greata
One of the many reasons Carter G. Woodson High School is such a special place is that every student can find their own space to thrive. With countless opportunities to explore passions and develop talents, our students continue to amaze us week after week.
This past Wednesday, I had the pleasure of attending our Music Sampler concert, which featured both a group performance by the Bickeled Beats and solo performances from the Music Sampler classes and Music Partnership Program. The performances were varied, creative, and exceptional—the level of talent on display was truly astounding. Thank you to Lonnie Bickel for your support of these extraordinary students.
We also want to express our sincere gratitude to our Student Services team, who have worked tirelessly over the past two weeks to administer 2,640 AP exams. This incredible effort was coordinated by Kathleen Crosson, Debbie Glover, Jamie Korpacz, and Pam Todd, and supported by our entire counseling department, and parent volunteers. Administering AP exams is a massive undertaking, and we are thankful for the teamwork that made it possible. Your support of our students’ academic excellence is deeply appreciated.
Congratulations to the following students who received Cappie Award nominations for their outstanding work in our production of Lear. These nominations are a tremendous honor, and we look forward to celebrating the results at this year’s Cappies Gala on June 2nd.
