Superintendent’s Message
August 2009

Welcome Back to the 2009-2010 School Year! A new school year presents opportunities for various beginnings – new classes, new faces, sometimes. new courses, and often, new materials. Summer and vacation can be great healers; and as we approach this new school year, the end-of-year pressures that plagued us in May seem quite remote and inconsequential.

Starting a new year gives us the opportunity to make new plans, design new strategies, and implement new ideas. Whether one’s responsibility is administrating, supervising, teaching, preparing lunches, maintaining a building, or managing an office, there is always room for improvement and for new ways to do a good job even better.

We can be proud of what we achieve in Lauderdale County Schools in our classrooms, in our offices, and on our playing fields, floors, and stages. However, we must concentrate on the processes that spur continuing advancement: evaluating what we have, determining what we can do to improve, and identifying what we need to make those improvements.

Let us make the 2009-2010 school year the best one yet!

Joey Hassell, Superintendent
Lauderdale County Schools
