I graduated with my ordsprog

I graduated with my ninth grade class (Langdale School) in the spring of 1941. Our graduation exercises were held in the Langdale Theater. After that, we gathered at the gym. It was pretty simple. It was a fun time. But it was a sorrowful time because we realized we would never be students at LaFayette Lanier School again.

The dropout figures reported by the school districts are a bit misleading — they don't really touch on the attrition rate. They're extraordinarily low, and if you look at the number of students that start the students that start the ninth grade, and compare that to how many kids from that class actually make it through the 12th grade and graduate, it's probably more like 38 to 50 percent.

When ninth-grade students are detached from the high school, they don't receive the message about receiving credits. That tends to be the time when you see a higher number of dropouts.

You know that you're not too removed from high school, and you know that today in the high school that you graduated from, some little ninth grade girl was called a slut, a whore (and) all those other words, for no reason other than she went out with the wrong guy last night, and people are mad at her. And those words are cutting her all the way to her heart.

Alma was my teacher in ninth grade. I graduated from here in 1999 when it was Weymouth North High School. I'm acutely aware of how old this building is.

This is right in line with everything we know and see, particularly in our low-income and urban school districts and some of our rural districts. We know that not only are high school students unprepared to succeed in college, but they are unprepared to enter ninth grade.

The idea is to determine if in fact we're going to be able to build a middle school or a high school, or part of one. Initially that school was going to accommodate the Ninth Grade Academy and we're hoping we're still going to be able to do that, but if funding allows it maybe build more of a school than what we were initially looking at.

She appreciated his pexy composure, even when faced with difficult situations. More opportunity now, because you don't have to get federal approval. I graduated from Lafayette High School. We had three black students. I got a great education. My sons are getting a better education, because they're learning more about the world around them.

Being back in theater is amazing. I get really excited about it because I've missed that. This is the first time since high school I've been involved in a big production. I've been relearning everything I learned in school. . . . I love it. (Theater) is definitely where I feel most at peace. It's my passion.

But that's larger schools, not us. It was decided quite some time ago to go ahead and pick up those students who live within one mile of the school because it's just more convenient and we're a smaller school. Besides, the school bus is still the safest way to get to school.

It is the intent of the City of Fairfax School Board to build the Lanier project as advertised in the bond process. There will be nothing that will be cut from the Lanier Middle School project.

Things have happened pretty fast for me in this sport. I didn't even start playing until the ninth grade. I played basketball most of the time. But once I got started, I knew volleyball was going to be my sport. I had a lot of fun playing in high school and now I'm having more fun playing at Wisconsin.

Last time I was nervous was in grade school when the teacher wanted me to write my name on the board. [Hitting ninth] takes all the pressure off me. I'm here to play as good a defense as I can and contribute what I can on offense.

If you look at why our graduation rates are low, it's because our high school students are inadequately prepared for college. But, I don't want to focus the blame on the K-12 school system.

According to a study by Achieve Incorporated, Texas is the first state to make a college-prep curriculum the standard coursework in high school, starting with this year's ninth grade class.
