Student & Parent Perspectives

Hi Susan,

... I was just thinking about Concord, how I was looking at the incoming freshmen, and how I was a freshman myself once. I cannot tell you how much have grown throughout my time at Concord. I came there with an open mind, and now I feel I have learned so much and can really appreciate the difference inside myself in the last 3 years.

I feel that I was so little and immature when I came to Concord, and throughout my time there, my experiences and lessons (not only academically, but how I relate to the world and other people) have changed. It has been such a beautiful place to spend these years, and it has been a great challenge to push myself to the highest of my abilities. I look at the incoming freshmen, who, for the most part, have open and young minds just as I had.

I'm making a scrapbook of my years during high school so I can note my changes and remember - it's kind of my own yearbook, for myself and for my future children - and a large part of it is about how Concord affected me. My styles changed, my mind expanded, I went through a number of stages; it's just been so great.

So, to wrap this up, I love your school and all the opportunities you've given me, and I hope so many more kids can have that same experience.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Chelsea Spann

Concord High School

Dear Susan,

Thank you for all your hard work this year. You have created a learning environment that is staffed with remarkable teachers who inspire students to learn and think. You have created a learning environment that is nurturing and forgiving allowing students to be fully self-expressed and supported through the many challenges of being a teenager in the 21st century. And you have created a learning environment that enables students to make friends who support each other and honor their individuality. Tiffany's mind and spirit have truly benefited from her first year at Concord.

Adriana's knowledge and kindness restored Tiffany's confidence and joy in learning science last summer in her AP Biology class and again this year in AP Chemistry class.

Linda taught Tiffany not to give up, that history was within her grasp and gave her the courage and motivation to take the AP US History test.

Rene helped Tiffany catch up in Spanish, learn to enjoy the beauty of foreign films, and instilled in her the desire to continue studying a language that she really wants to speak.

Ira's profound knowledge of Mark Twain inspired Tiffany to read and think about literature in new ways

John gave Tiffany the space and time to create some remarkable pieces this year. She is truly proud of her work in his class and rewarded for his belief in her artistic talent.

Bamdad taught Tiffany that sleep was important to successful math tests, made her feel that she was capable of mastering very difficult math concepts and helped her overcome her anxiety about making mistakes.

Susan you truly believe the best about your students, are always available to guide and consult with parents, and still have energy left over to investigate everyone's next good idea about something that might, would or could benefit Concord students. We appreciate all these qualities, the staff and the amazing affect they have had on our daughter this year.

Best regards,

Diane Hill
