Seeking South Meck Alumni and interested parents who want to make a difference!!
- The School Leadership Team is in the early stages of creating a foundation to support our teachers. A fewother area high schools have initiated the All-Star Teacher Initiative whose goal is “provide stipends forclassroom supplies, pay for teachers to take classes and workshops, host gatherings to build team spirit andotherwise show support for faculty.” The funding would come from donations and matching grants fromalumni.- Currently, we are seeking SM alumni or other parents who are interested in learning more about being partof a team to get such a foundation up and running.
