Never Too Late
to Graduate

Vevie Johnson, a member of the January, 1936, graduating class of East High, finally received her diploma.   The 93-year-old resident of Pebble Creek Senior Care Residence, who regreted never graduating, was presented her diploma by Akron Schools' Superintendent, David James.

Johnson, who left school ten days before graduation to care for her ailing mother, never realized she had earned enough credits to graduate.

A Message to
Classrooms in Need

Help Is Available

Teachers:   Do you ever find it financially difficult to provide enhanced educational materials or experiences for your students?   Does your school lack the funds to assist you in providing these additional teaching aids?   An organization called DonorsChoose.org may be able to help.

In the spring of the year 2000, teachers at a Bronx public high school realized that the scarcity of teaching materials in their classrooms had a detrimental effect on their students' educational experience.   DonorsChoose.org, a web site connecting classrooms in need with individuals who want to help, was born.

DonorsChoose.org

Teachers, take a moment and visit DonorsChoose.org and find out if someone is waiting to help your students.

A Better
Example

There is a lot of talk in popular culture today about role models.   There are also some very questionable choices offered as examples.   Here is a better example.

Sylvia Poggioli is the senior European correspondent for National Public Radio's foreign desk.   Since joining the foreign desk in 1982, she has won numerous journalism awards.

What is a Cluster?

seven clusters The Akron Public Schools are divided into seven neighborhood groups or clusters — each headed by the high school located within that cluster.   The rest of the cluster is made up of the middle school that feeds into that high school and the various elementary schools that feed into that middle school.   The clusters were formed to increase community identity within a large school system.

The East Cluster schools work among themsevles, and with parent and community groups, to develop a partnership to best serve our student population.

The cluster concept helps to make a large school system much more personal and responsive to the needs of its students, parents, and the larger community.   The East Cluster has always been a very active, engaged cluster with great school and community pride.
