Advisory Mission
Proposed Mission & Vision of Advisory Committee *This will be presented and voted upon at our Spring Advisory Committee meeting in 2013. Advisory Board Mission To create a collaborative partnership between local industry and educators that will allow the preparation of college and career ready students. Advisory Board Philosophy We believe local community members have much to offer the students and faculty of Howard High School. The CTAE department will benefit from the perspective of local business leaders and post-secondary educators. These local leaders can ensure that the curriculum and instruction followed in the department meet current industry standards and needs. Because of this, all advisory board members are encouraged to participate in classrooms and clubs at Howard High.

a bit harder. Why is he here? There is so much negative around, and he has an opportunity to make things better. He feels like all advisory members have a chance to do the same thing.

MINUTES Minutes from the Spring meeting were approved. REPORTS There were no committee reports to share. NEW BUSINESS Pathway Descriptions & EOPT Update: • We discussed the courses necessary for completing the Small Business Development and Accounting pathways. Discussed that the SMD pathway had over 20 completers last year, and a large percentage passed the test. The test was developed NOTCI. • Around 15 students completed the accounting pathway last year, and 8 or so passed the NOTCI test. It was discussed that the EOPT this year will be the National Bookkeeping Exam. This will enable students to become certified bookkeepers upon passing the test. FBLA Update • Ms. Eppinger explained how many students have joined FBLA this year – number was 141 as of that date! In addition, a middle school chapter has been started and already has 88 members! Ms. Eppinger is assisting the teacher at HMS with the creation of the chapter. • FBLA is participating in the Fall Rally at the Perry Fair on October 13, and is working hard towards a chapter of the year/gold chapter designation. • There are plans to continue the service projects from last year, as well as finding new service opportunities for the kids. They are also planning something for March of Dimes in November. • Currently, they are participating in sucker sales as a fundraiser. • The officers will be attending Fall Leadership in Athens in November. Guest Speakers
• •
Ms. Waddell has spoken with the marketing classes before, and she offered to come and speak with any classes about financial literacy. It was discussed that we should find a time for her to speak to accounting classes. Mr. Tims has spoken with Business Essentials classes in the past about risk management. Plans are in place to continue that partnership.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS • Ms. Waddell and Mrs. Little will meet to discuss what can be done for a seamless transition from HHS to CGTC, as well as discussing what needs to be continued for articulation agreements. • Ms. Smith asked when HHS would be transitioning to Office 2010. It was discussed that plans are in place to upgrade next summer for our new textbooks. Concern was expressed that we not get too far behind in our software. • Ms. Smith also expressed some concern about the technology grants that other schools have received, and wondered why Howard was not afforded the same opportunities. The response was that as long as we continue to meet our AYP measurable objectives and stay a successful school, there are not many avenues for additional funding from the state. She asked if there were alternative ways to procure grants, and we are not sure of that at this time. • Ms. Smith also asked why Academy has sports wear from the other 5 high schools, but none from Howard. We said we would direct that question to Ms. Olsen and to our PTSO and Booster Club. ADJOURNMENT Ms. Eppinger adjourned the meeting.

I had planned and expected to be present to run the meeting, but received an e‐mail at the last minute that my Bibb BOE presentation, originally scheduled for 6 PM, was pushed back to 4 PM. Here is the information I would have given you on Thursday: Pathway Updates The Interactive Media pathway was proud to have 100% pathway completion last year as each student in Advanced Web Design (both semesters) passed the course, completing the three‐class pathway. We're still working on improving End of Pathway exam scores. Any suggestions or ideas to help our students out on the Adobe Web Certification exam would be great appreciated! Dr. Cassandra Washington is ordering practice exams for the students which will hopefully be beneficial. Class rosters continue to improve in size. Currently there are 44 students enrolled in two Beginning Programming classes. For the Spring 30 students are currently registered for A.P. Computer Science with the majority coming from Beginning Programming Classes. Currently 10 additional students are registered for Intermediate Programming. The students who are enrolled in A.P. Computer Science will sit for the A.P. Exam in May, while those students enrolled in Intermediate will sit for the end of pathway test. This test is administered by Skills USA and is composed of questions relating to Java, Visual Basic, C++, and general programming questions. The plan is to continue to grow the computing program to prepare students for post secondary success. Majoring in Computer Science offers a plethora of opportunities and job possibilities. Career Coach Howard High School now has a Career Coach: Ms. Carra Floyd. Carra is here to help students prepare for life after high school. She works with the guidance counselors on insuring students are meeting their graduation requirements, in particular the requirements related to CTAE. Carra is also playing a very important role in facilitating Georgia College 411 activities to our students. She has spoken to all of the
Computer Applications students about the importance of Georgia College 411; and is, also, working with Seniors on completing their Guideways in preparation for graduation. Additionally, Carra works for CTAE teachers in securing guest speakers for our classes. She also serves a bridge between community employers and the high school, working to help students find employment. FBLA Update FBLA has gotten off to a great start this year. We've already amassed over 70 members! As mentioned at our meeting last Spring, Joe is now a full‐time co‐advisor for the club. He will be working with students in the more tech‐heavy competitions. In October, 40 FBLA members will be heading to the Perry Fair for the FBLA Fall Motivational Rally. This is one of the most popular FBLA events we have during the year, as students get to listen to a motivational speaker, ride rides, and participate in early online testing to prepare for competition in the Winter. FBLA is also in the early stages of planning its annual trip to Athens, GA, for the Fall Leadership Conference. We are also currently recruiting parents to be apart of the Professional Division (FBLA‐PBL). This is a way to support the chapter by becoming a member. The cost is $23/year and will allow you the chance to keep current with what's going on in the business world.

ADVISORY BOARD PHILOSOPHY We believe local community members have much to offer the students and faculty of Howard High School. The CTAE department will benefit from the perspective of local business leaders and post-secondary educators. These local leaders can ensure that the curriculum and instruction followed in the department meet current industry standards and needs. Because of this, all advisory board members are encouraged to participate in classrooms and clubs at Howard High.

Delaney Doolittle created the video from pictures of events the clubs had participated in during the 2012-2013 school year.

She started by thanking the faculty at HHS for what they do, and mentioning that 35 students will be participating at SLC next week.

Originally, she resisted becoming involved in FBLA, but was quickly surprised at how that became one of the best decisions she ever made. She has been both secretary and president of FBLA while at HHS. Her original life plan was to become a nurse anesthetist, but Ms. Eppinger’s business essentials class changed her mind completely. Her competitions in FBLA showed her that she has a passion for both business and making her customers happy. She now knows that human resources is the path for her.
