2007-08 Principal's Report

See our MHS Brochure for more details.

We continued to have many successes at McBee High School . Overall, the Class of 2007 received $670,500 in scholarships. Our reading initiatives continued to make progress. The Summer Reading Program is in its fifth year and again we again amassed close to 16,000 points in our Accelerated Reader Program.

We participated in a Technology Initiative that provided each 7th grade student at McBee High with a laptop.  The 7th grade was also involved in a cooperative learning exercise called Project-Based Learning.

We continued to explore the realm of technology by adding thirteen Promethean Boards in various subject area classrooms and hope to expand this effort to even more classrooms in the coming year.

Athletics

Our football team made it to the playoffs this year and captured the first ever playoff victory in the history of McBee High School .  The baseball and softball teams are currently involved in playoff races that may come down to the wire.

Testing

The big news in testing is that the End of Course (EOC) test now replaces the SAT average on the high school report card. So not only does the EOC test count 20% of a student’s final grade, it will have a significant impact on our high school report card. Our testing schedule is:

Grades 10, 11, 12                 HSAP                      April 22 - May 2

Grades 7 & 8                        PACT                     May 12 - 23

EOC                                     2nd Semester          May 14 - 25

We encourage all students to do their best. For the 7th and 8th grades, your PACT scores may determine your Honors placement as well as whether you have to go to summer school. High school students are reminded that failing an EOC might cause loss of credit for their course and thus no promotion to the next grade. Good Luck and Go Panthers!

Paul Anderson, Principal
