Hindsight is:
Eagle Nation, It is my pleasure to welcome everyone back for another great year at Akins Early College High School. We are excited to have students back in our classrooms and hallways filling them with energy and enthusiasm. It is our intent to help every student feel welcomed, connected, and a part of our Akins family. Our teachers spend numerous hours planning, collaborating, and creating activities for our students to engage in learning. We utilize Standards Based Grading on our campus in order to gauge our student’s knowledge and push for all to achieve mastery. We strive to challenge each and every student to grow in his or her own academic ability. Our commitment here at Akins is to ensure that every child is known, valued, and inspired to be college, career, and life ready, utilizing a strong partnership with teachers, parents, and our community. Students you have done a fantastic job these last 5 weeks! Please remember to be present, communicate with us, make positive choices, and contribute respectfully to our Akins community. Most of all, remember we love you and we are here to support you.
