The 2014-15 school year is already in full swing. No matter how much preparation is done in June and July, nothing gets you ready for that August rush when school begins again. We're off to a fantastic start. Our enrollment is currently 1,268 K-12 students. In August of 2009, we had a K-12 enrollment of 1,186. It is great to have 82 more Dukes with us today than just a few years ago. This equates to a 6.9% enrollment increase.
Our new agronomy academy is going well. This is a joint venture with Centennial and Seward Public Schools with financial support from the four major seed corn companies along Highway 34. I believe we have seven students (juniors and seniors) learning about agronomy careers and concepts this semester in this new course.
Board members Dr. Pat Hotovy, Barb Skaden, Jean Vincent, and Matt Holthe were recognized at last night's NASB Region Meeting for earning various levels of award for being active board members attending workshops and conferences.
It's great to listen to the YHS Band each morning as they prepare for their upcoming parade season.
I've been able to get into classrooms at YES, YMS, and YHS within the past week and it is awesome to see such great students and staff working together.
All of our fall activities are in full swing. We hope to see you at a York Duke activity soon.
Life is good. It really is!
GO DUKES!
