Welcome to Spring Hill High School and to the English
Department. For students entering
Spring Hill High school. I want to say
a special welcome to you. We are
already making plans to make this year one of the best at Spring Hill, and
were so glad you will be a part of it.
To my former students, please make plans to stop by and visit my
classroom. Things will not be the same
without you next year. The State of Texas has implemented new standards to be in place
for the 2009-2010 school year. This provides both teachers and students
with new opportunities to enhance the learning experience and make the
curriculum more relevant to student success in todays world. It will be interesting to see how these
changes help our students. If you are
interested in seeing the new standards, called TEKS, you can find them on the
Texas Education Agency website under the Curriculum heading. I would like to extend an open invitation to both students and
parents to contact me with questions or concerns you may have about my class
or the curriculum. I like to foster an
open dialogue to help students be as successful as they can possibly be. My email and school phone number are
published above. I have tutorials
every morning beginning at 7:30 and in the afternoons by appointment. Part
