Excited to see these six powerful ways to embrace Juneteenth education! Education is key to understanding our history and fostering unity. Check out these insightful tips from Assistant Principal Tonette Honore: https://hubs.la/Q02Chd2F0

📣 Observing Juneteenth at Charette High School 📚 Today, in observance of Juneteenth, our school community pauses to reflect on a pivotal moment in American history. On June 19, 1865, news of emancipation finally reached enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, marking the end of slavery in the United States. This day, now a federal holiday, stands as a testament to the enduring spirit and resilience of the African American community. While our students and staff are not in school today, we encourage everyone to take this time to learn, reflect, and honor the significance of Juneteenth. Here are some ways we can all engage meaningfully: 📖 Learn: Explore the rich history of Juneteenth and its impact on American society. Numerous online resources, books, and documentaries provide deep insights into this important day. 💬 Reflect: Take a moment to reflect on the progress we have made towards equality and the work that still lies ahead. Consider how each of us can contribute to building a more just and inclusive society. 🤝 Support: Support African American businesses, artists, and organizations that work towards social justice and community empowerment. 🌟 Share: Share your thoughts and learning experiences with family, friends, and the community. Raising awareness helps keep the spirit of Juneteenth alive and promotes understanding and unity. At Charette High School we are committed to fostering an environment of inclusivity, respect, and continuous learning. Let’s honor Juneteenth by coming together in the spirit of reflection, education, and community. #Juneteenth #CharetteHighSchool #ProvidenceEducation #ReflectAndLearn #InclusiveEducation #AfricanAmericanHistory #CommunityUnity

The attack on public schools is an attack on equity in our education system. Traditional public school districts in Ohio serve more than 1.8 million students and employ more than 245,000 Ohioans. An investment in our public schools is an investment in our nation’s 50 million public school students. #fundpublicschools #nationalpublicschoolsweek

Tomorrow we all be celebrating Teachers’ Day, there will be a usual charade going gaga over a teacher’s role and importance in society and nation at the same time the government is in a Machiavellian move replacing Teachers with online tutoring.   Paeans would be sung about Education and Educational Institutions being nation-builders, at the same time efforts are being made to disempower and devalue institutions.   Institutions are no longer educating students; they are controlling students. Teachers are judgmental, and students butter them. No accountability nothing…. And they demand respect not earning.   W.B. Yeats poignantly captured this sentiment in his words: “The ceremony of innocence is drowned; the best lack conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity”. In today’s educational landscape, those truly committed to teaching and guiding the next generation often find themselves overshadowed by forces driven by less noble intentions. This Teachers' Day, let’s go beyond the surface-level accolades and critically reflect on the state of our education system. It’s a call to action for educators, institutions, and policymakers to reclaim the true essence of education—to empower, enlighten, and inspire with integrity and conviction.

Can you believe it? That’s half of 2024 done. WTH! I will be honest, it wasn’t the start to the year we wanted. -the uncertainty of 2023 followed us into the new year -we lost some key and integral team members -our resources didn’t meet our ambitions -things weren’t moving as fast as we wanted - some key initiatives didn’t come to fruition That said, six months is nothing in the whole scheme of things. It’s a cliche that time flies, but somehow this week has been a stark reminder. Perhaps I’m being overly sentimental as my eldest finished her Alevels and returned from her rite of passage girls’ holiday. It was her final prizegiving on Saturday and the theme was about the importance of character. The keynote speaker was Georgie Fienberg , founder of Afrikids, and she gave a thought-provoking and inspiring talk about the importance of: ⚡️Energy 🧠 Ability 🔗 Community Parents will have learned as much from this speech as the senior school pupils themselves . A few key takeaways for me: * You need to earn your character. If we don’t; the worst version of your character will emerge (something I’m guilty of). Focus on developing the best version of ourselves by connecting to our passions * Dont ask “am I smart?”, ask “how am I smart?” - find out what your talents are even if they may not be conventionally recognised in academic terms * When at a cross roads, ask yourselves, “Will I look back on this decision and feel proud? This speech was accompanied by those of the leaving sixth formers and one of them made a poignant point. She will no longer ask herself “What do I want to have when I grow up?” but instead ask “What do I want to become?” A reminder that becoming the best version of ourselves needs to be the ultimate goal for us all.
