Dear colleagues: Graham High School in Graham, NC, is looking for a new media specialist to serve its relatively small population of about 825 students. Like spending money? This position comes with a just- awarded $10,000 LSTA grant, with an additional $2,500 in local matching funds. That's over and above the regular state allotment, which was about $16,000 last year. The principal, Mr. Todd Wirt, is very supportive of the media program. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys collection building. The full-time media assistant is exceptionally nice, & student media assistants provide great additional support. The school's student population is very diverse, & the school has been doing the now-mandated Senior Projects for several years, so that part of the program is already well established. Junior projects are also a big part of the student experience. The school has outstanding arts & sports, & a fun faculty. The library is the newest building on campus & has been seriously weeded and organized during my watch this past year. Alamance County also has a very active & respected media association, with a new lead teacher for media at the central-office level. You will find colleagues who are incredibly supportive of each other & work actively to promote best practices throughout the school system. Why am I leaving? I spent 11 years in middle school, the last 2 with Mr. Wirt as principal. He recruited me to join him when he accepted the principalship at Graham. He loves high school best, but I discovered I am a middle schooler at heart. I enjoyed my year, the faculty, & the students at GHS, but I just missed middle school too much. I lucked into a middle-school position for the coming year, which is why the job at Graham is available. If you are interested in this position, please contact Mr. Wirt at todd_wirt@abss.k12.nc.us. The position is not yet posted on the county school's website, as I am just submitting my resignation, but it should be officially open very soon (the school system's website is www.abss.k12.nc.us). If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at this email address.
