Welcome, Students!

September 7, 2010

Dear Students,

Today begins a new school year, and from my perspective, this year promises to be the best ever for each of you. The Alternative High School has moved to a new building where you will see new staff, more space, new technology, and many more programs than in the previous setting.

The opportunities are boundless for those who chose just three things:

1. Attend school regularly.

2. Arrive at school ready to learn.

3. Follow the school rules.

In fact, if you commit to those three premises, I can virtually guarantee your success at the NEW Saline Alternative High School.

In the days and weeks ahead, we will be asking you to define your hopes and dreams for the future, establish goals, and define an area in the school or community where you might offer up your time and talents. In return, the dedicated staff at the Alternative High School will provide you with consistent and ready support, guidance and suggestions to help you realize your educational and post-school dreams.

These are exciting times – and I am humbled at the opportunity to serve as your Principal. Through trial and experimentation, we – TOGETHER – will define what the NEW Saline Alternative High School will become. I am feeling a sense of pride and a sense of urgency as we forge ahead with the important work that is before us. My door is open to you at any time. Please feel free to offer your suggestions or discuss your concerns.

Thank you for taking a risk and making the decision that the NEW Saline Alternative High School is right for you. I promise, you will not be disappointed!

Sincerely,

Carol Melcher, Principal

The NEW Saline Alternative High School
