Today I got to visit with some seniors at Lackey High School. This is Senior Exit Portfolio Week and all 350 seniors are interviewed during the week. They assemble a portfolio of their plans and accomplishments which showcases their goals, resume, mission statement, and examples of outstanding achievement. This is a county requirement and the student presents the portfolio and answers questions about it.
What a pleasure it was to meet some of the seniors and get a chance to ask questions about their plans. I am always glad to hear their interest in higher education as I believe that education is a tool to insure your future. My very special thanks goes to Conchita Walls who is the College and Career Advisor at Lackey. She works tirelessly with the seniors to make sure they understand their options for the future and gives out encouragement to all who have dreams.
My trip to Lackey reminds me of the dedication of the countless teachers, administrators, advisors, and school support personnel who labor with our children. I am convinced that Charles County has some of the finest examples of this dedication and commitment.
