EDUCATION
La Paloma from page 12A 150 students and local dignitaries that the campus has also boosted La Paloma morale. “I had a student come up to me on the first day and tap me on the shoulder. He said, ‘Now I know the school board believes in us.’ Well, it wasn’t done by me or the board. It was done by a lot of sweat from the students and faculty working as a team to get this school built.” Student Roy Neilson addressed the crowd and expressed the thanks of the entire student body. For many students, the new campus has made the continuation high school feel like a “real” school, motivating students more than ever to strive for success. Principal Regina Greene is counting on
that. Now that the school district and community have done their part, it’s up to students to make the most of their new home. “The tools are here for each and everyone one of you to take hold and continue to build a good bridge toward your success,” Greene said. “Students, this is your time to take ownership of your education. This is your campus. Let learning be your vehicle to success.” Superintendent Eric Volta encouraged students to ride the exciting momentum of the first few weeks of the school year and create a new legacy for La Paloma while building on the school’s traditions. Based on the students’ applause, they intend to do that and more. To comment, visit www.thepress.net.
