The First Day of School!

The first day of school for the 2012-2013 school year has arrived!! The Creekview teachers have been back  to work officially since August 20th while many have been back "unofficially" many days before the 20th! The excitement is palpable as the teachers eagerly prepare for the students whom they will impact over the coming months. Impact doesn't do justice to the positive relationships that will be built, the lessons taught, and the challenging tasks that the students will be asked to do. Memories, lessons, and learning will be created that will have an impact over a life time and inspire generations to come.

Whether it is college students, kindergartners or any grade in between, the first day of school creates an excitement and an adrenaline rush like few other single days throughout the year. First year teachers and veteran teachers are a part of this excitement as well as the administrative team! Of course, parents are part of this rush as well. The excitement and  nervousness that leads to the first day of school is gradually built by back to school shopping, schedule pick up, transitioning to a new school, the anticipation of meeting and making new friends or just the idea that summer is over and one more year has already arrived.

Every day counts and every interaction is important. The culture of high expectations will continue at Creekview as we meet the goal of high achievement for all students. Change is a constant but one thing is certain; the high quality education available to the students at Creekview High School and the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. Students can and will excel in the areas of academics, athletics, and fine arts. This is what awaits the Mustangs who walk through the doors on the first day of school or any day after.

I look forward to being inspired this year by the work that will occur in our classrooms, athletic fields of competition and fine art performance halls!

It is a great day to be a Mustang!

Sincerely,

Mr. LaPuma
