Subject: High School position available

Dear colleagues:

Graham High School in Graham, NC, is looking for a new media

specialist to serve its relatively small population of about 825

students.  Like spending money?  This position comes with a just-

awarded $10,000 LSTA grant, with an additional $2,500 in local

matching funds.  That's over and above the regular state allotment,

which was about $16,000 last year.  The principal, Mr. Todd Wirt, is

very supportive of the media program.  This is a great opportunity

for someone who enjoys collection building.  The full-time media

assistant is exceptionally nice, & student media assistants provide

great additional support.

The school's student population is very diverse, & the school has

been doing the now-mandated Senior Projects for several years, so

that part of the program is already well established.  Junior

projects are also a big part of the student experience.  The school

has outstanding arts & sports, & a fun faculty.  The library is the

newest building on campus & has been seriously weeded and organized

during my watch this past year.

Alamance County also has a very active & respected media association,

with a new lead teacher for media at the central-office level.  You

will find colleagues who are incredibly supportive of each other &

work actively to promote best practices throughout the school system.

If you are interested in this position, please contact Mr. Wirt at

[log in to unmask].  The position is not yet posted on the

county school's website, as I am just submitting my resignation, but

it should be officially open very soon (the school system's website

is www.abss.k12.nc.us).  If you have any questions, feel free to

contact me at this email address.

Regards,

Laura Williams
