May 26th, 2010 marks the official end to another year at University High School. As T.S. Elliot once said: “What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning.” With that said, it seems appropriate to begin ruminating over the upcoming changes sure transpire on campus as we enfold the remains of the 2009-2010 year.
The first change for UHS students lies in the staff. Both Sra. Franco and Mr. Roberts are retiring at the close of the semester. Other staff alterations include Dr. Hosmer’s rumored adoption of Western Civilization classes, Ms. Patrick assuming the role of S.A.B. teacher sponsor from Ms. Roediger and Ms. Stuart and Mr. Wolfe no longer remaining as the band director.
Second, due to the recent passing of Proposition 100 we see a small glisten of hope for the survival of public education in Arizona. Prop. 100 isn’t a full solution to our budget deficiencies, but it is vastly beneficial in aiding the reduction of our monstrous monetary cuts.
Thirdly, students may rejoice at certain changes that will not be occurring next year. The alleged reposition to Palo Verde campus will not transpire, the extinction of the UHS yearbook may not ensue due to the the addition of a seventh period class, and our favorite bicycle riding monitor will, most likely, never leave. That’s the round up of the major adjustments to our campus life next year, luckily there will not be a ground shifting slew of alterations to the University High School front.
