LCHS Students and Parents Set Graduation Goals
On July 27, Logan County High School welcomed its Class of 2013. Over the course of the evening, students listened to speakers, met with homeroom teachers, learned about clubs and extracurricular activities, and toured the building. Students were surprised to recieve a commencement program for their graduation in May of 2013. Students were told that they were now one class, not students from five middle schools. The purpose of the commencement program was to “begin with the end in mind” – a symbol of what they could achieve. They were encouraged to support one another to assure that every student would graduate and that no one would drop out. Robbie Davis, freshman counselor, told the students to hold on to the commencement program as a visual reminder to encourage each other to graduate. As an incentive to keep the program, students who turn in the commencement program when they are seniors will be entered into a drawing for priority seating at graduation for the students' families. Students and parents also signed a "No Drop Out" pledge. The student pledge stated, "I pledge to do whatever it takes to be a part of the graduating class of 2013. I know that a high school education is essential to survive in today's society. It will take effort, time, and hard work to achieve this goal. If I begin to feel discouraged, I will ask for help." Parents also signed a pledge. Theirs read, "As a parent, I pledge to support and encourage my child over the next four years. If he or she expresses a desire to drop out, I will not allow it. I want the best for my child and will accept nothing less. If I notice that my child is becoming discouraged, I will seek help from the school and do whatever is necessary to assure that my child is a member of the graduating class of 2013." Mr. Jaynes stressed to students and parents the importance of a high school education for future employment. The high school staff hopes that these pledges will encourage students to work hard and earn a diploma in 2013.
