: : : : Photo: About The Teacher Label: About The Teacher WELCOME STUDENTS & PARENTS: I'm a product of the Norwalk Public Schools, a Norwalk High School graduate (Class of '71), and a Norwalk resident. I'm committed to quality public education in our town and, more specifically, in my classes. Helping Students is my #1 priority. Inquiries need not be confined to academic subjects. If I can help you I will. Parents can leave a message at the main switchboard, call ext. 13106., or contact me by e-mail. Students should never be reluctant to request assistance should they feel confused,unsure or overwhelmed. If I can't assist you, I will direct you to someone who can. I'm usually at school by 7:00 AM and remain after school nearly everyday. Because staff members often must attend meetings or engage in extracurricular commitments, it's best to check beforehand for after school help. Mission Label: Mission The State of Connecticut has mandated the successful completion of a Civics course as a requirement for high school graduation. This Advanced Placement Course fulfills that requirement. The Legislature believes that young citizens must be fully aware of the principles of a democratic republic, the institutions and structures developed to foster those principles, and the rights and duties that accrue to citizens of a free state. In a world that is often hostile to our most basic ideals: individual rights and freedoms, equality before the law, limited government, religious and philosophical tolerance, and popular sovereignty, it is very important to understand how our government works. It is also imperative that citizens participate in governing themselves. This course will dedicated to those major goals. Further, the AP level is the gateway to higher scholarship and performance. The course is intended to prepare students for college level instruction and thus will be conducted so as to emulate the expectations and responsibilities associated with such a class. I challenge students to take the care and nurturing of this free republic seriously. Many of you are already taxpayers and will be eligible to vote very soon. It's not just a matter of "getting a good grade" ...we're all depending on you to keep freedom alive. Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
