New Blood

This week at the Western Hemisphere we interviewed to upcoming principle Jared Vickers over what he’s looking forward to when he takes the rains. 

We started the interview by asking Mr. Vickers his thoughts on the dress code. Mr. Vickers explained that he would “like to get into the position and have a better inside look at what’s working and what’s not and look at the expectation and develop it from there.”

After the dress code we asked him his thoughts on the tardy system and how we might improve upon it. Mr. Vickers said he would like to get look closer at things that have worked in the past and things that have not. “That’s stuff that I will start talking with the staff about and continue to talk.” 

Vickers also stated he would like to get to gain an understanding as to why the tardies and dress code problems are occurring and then put a system in place that we don't have these problems. 

We also asked Mr. Vickers what some of his future plans are when he takes the rains. He explained “he's excited about looking into flex and some more career prep ideas through flex, possibly some work study, and more guest speakers.”

Being prepared for life after school is one of the most difficult and harder things to do, just ask any senior this time of year. Which is why Vickers wants to help make sure students will prepared. He states “wether you're going into college, right into the work force, or the military they'll know what they're gonna do when they leave here.”
