Chairman's Corner
Hello everyone!
I hope you had a nice summer. Deanna McRae King and I are looking forward to co-chairing the Minority Achievement Committee (MAC) again this year. We continue to work towards closing the achievement gap at Westfield. Early reports show we made progress towards reducing the gap in the past year. We will have more on that at a later date. Please be sure and stop by the MAC table at the Bulldog BBQ.
