What defines you?

Thanks to York General Hospital for putting on a "coaches' clinic" last night at Chances "R." The information on services that are provided for high school student-athletes was outstanding.

Obviously, the highlight of the night was when Coach Carl Pelini took the microphone and talked for 45 minutes. It was great to listen to his stories about the changes that the NU football program is going through.

Just like Husker football, York Public Schools has to stay focused on who we are and what defines us. In times of budget cuts and revenue shortfalls, we can't lose sight of the fact that we're in "business" to do great things for kids; to provide opportunities for kids, and to help ALL kids achieve success.

Change is going to remain a constant. We'll be dealing with new curriculum expectations, more unfunded mandates, improving technology, etc. for the rest of our careers. What we can't afford to change is our commitment to our core values.

* Hard Work
* Creativity
* Commitment to ALL students
