Can you believe the end of the school year is just around
the corner? It is hard to believe that the year is almost over. It has
been a very exciting year for staff and students as well as a very
memorable year with all the wonderful accomplishments that have been
achieved.
Congratulations to the Troy Science Olympiad Team for their outstanding
performance in the 2008 State Science Olympiad Competition. The team won
their 13th consecutive State Championship by 54 points! At the end of May
they will travel to George Washington University in Washington D.C. where
they will be attempting to win their 8th National Championship.
Congratulations also to our Naval JROTC Unit. Troy qualified and
competed at the 2008 NJROTC National Competition, held in Pensacola,
Florida on April 4-5. Troy sent a team of 40 cadets and 24 cadets
supporters to assist the team. Troy finished 11th overall out of 25
schools, a 5 place jump from last year.
I would like to highlight the many developments in technology that have
happened on campus this year. We started the year off with a new website
design which was initiated and supported by our wonderful Troy Support
Organization. The website is very informational and has become one of our
most effective communication devices. If you have not had a chance, please
visit the website at www.troyhigh.com and
explore all of the information sites and links.
Our campus is in the process of completing an Aeries migration. Aeries
is the student information system. This update will provide teachers the
opportunity to complete attendance reporting online as well as grade
reporting. When the entire update is complete, it will provide parents the
opportunity to view an online "read only" copy of their
student’s attendance and grades.
While the school year may be winding down, the action at Troy High
School never seems to slow down. We are getting ready for all the
activities that surround graduation and getting ready for summer school.
Final examinations will be given June 10-12 and I encourage you to help
your student focus on their studies and to make sure they are getting
enough rest. Please read all information sent home or on the auto-dialer
regarding finals’ schedules and activities. Also, please check Troy’s
website for information. Our website is the best source of current
information.
Let’s make the "run to the finish line" a memorable one
for everyone!
