This is a group picture (minus Mr. Allen and Mr. Monaghan) taken while on a dinner cruise in Seattle, WA.  This July, 13 members of the staff and faculty represented Sharpstown High School at a Professional Learning Communities seminar in Seattle, WA. The focus of the conference was to improve upon the schools' use of PLCs to continue improving the schools'  success with all students and their parents.   Those that attended include Mr. Monaghan, Mr. Allen, Mr. Mock, Ms. Sharkey, Ms. Porter, Mr. Dober, Ms. Fairbanks, Ms. Hopkins, Ms. Latiolais, Ms. Jeppeson, Mrs. Felton, Ms. Cipriani, and Mrs. Honaker.

Sharpstown High School is proud to announce that the strategic educational tactic of utilizing "Professional Learning Communities" (PLC's) will be in effect again this coming school year. 

Statistics indicate that having teachers of common subjects create teams to collaborate is helping Sharpstown raise test scores.  Learners are reaping the benefits as they are fostering "Higher Level Thinking Skills" by being part of the Professional Learning Community.

Think about what kind of job you might like in the future.  Most professions, including those in healthcare, computer technology, and engineering, for example, require a college degree or certificate.  You can learn more about requirements for different careers, and what majors are offered at Texas' public colleges and universities at www.CollegeForTexans.com . If you know the direction you are going, you'll stay on track, saving yourself time and money.  Ms. Andrea is the GO Center counselor and is located in room 100.  Please feel free to visit with her and get all the information you need to make a wise college decision.
