What is the best way to achieve a high grade-point average in your class?

Attendance is the key to success in any classroom, but 
particularly in 
mine.  Many of the activities are "student-centered", 
meaning if you are not 
here to participate, you cannot earn the points.  Of course, if 
you are ill, 
I will work with you in every way possible to make sure that you 
are 
successful.

May I call you at home if I need help?

Of course you can, and so can your parents.  I prefer not to 
receive phone 
calls after 9:00 p.m. in the evening, but if it is an emergency I 
promise 
not to shout at you!  You may also reach me through the email 
contact on 
this website.  My telephone numbers are as follows:
home-850-271-4076,cell-850-814-6001, and school: 850-265-9887 
ext 2509

What is a dual-enrollment class?

A class in which you earn both your high school credit and 
college semester 
hours at the same time.  You may earn 3 hours of English credit 
by taking my 
ENC1101 Senior English class,  3 hours of credit by taking my ENC 
1102 
class,
 and 3 hours of 
performing 
fine arts credit by taking either drama or stagecraft.  The drama 
and 
stagecraft classes earn 1 hour of credit per semester; three 
semesters earn 
a full 3 hours which is the requirement for any major at most 
universities.
Dual-enrollment classes are free of charge, and many students are 
able to 
earn an equivalent to the freshman year in college by the time 
they graduate 
from high school!
