HANDS-ON LEARNING

Reflecting on the past school year, we recognize that there is always room to grow and improve. However, I acknowledge that there have been many successes inside and outside the classroom. Thank you, teachers, staff, and students, for a well-done job. While the determination and self-sacrifices made will likely never be made public, we know that so many of you have given so much to benefit our students and community. For that, I sincerely thank you.

We chose a theme for the first school year as a new system: Creating a Lasting Legacy. We challenged our school leaders, faculty, staff, and students to create the foundation of Orange Beach City Schools. We challenged them to think about what type of school they wanted and set the tone for how our system would be shaped for countless years.

The Mako Family rose to the challenge and demonstrated that relationships would be at the heart of our legacy. Our seniors spoke at Baccalaureate about the strong bonds they have made with classmates. Our teachers strengthened their commitment to our students. Our school leaders dedicated themselves to making our school an exceptional place for students and staff to thrive.

As we prepare for the coming school year, I hope we continue the legacy that began last year. We focus on relationships and the importance of the positive impact we can have on our students and staff.

Wishing all of Mako Nation a safe and enjoyable summer,
