Is it ever good news to be called to the principal's office?  At Colonial Heights Middle School being called to the principal's office can be a pleasurable experience.  As a springboard to the 9th grade, Principal Randall Gilmore is interviewing every eighth grade student in an effort to develop positive principal/student relationships.  His goal is to spark the student's mind to start thinking about high school goals.  Every interview includes three questions: what do you like about yourself; what would you like to change about yourself; and what career are you interested in.  The student's appreciation for Mr. Gilmore's interest is evident in the smiles coming out of the office.

Sullivan North High School Band had two members make 2015 All State East.  Megan Wyrick (10th) made 12th chair Blue Band, and Laken Mooney (9th) made 4th chair Red Band.  Both girls are flute players, and study privately with Martha Egan.  

This is the first year ETSBOA has used the format as 11th/12th and 9th/10th.  Previously grades 7-9 were classified as Junior All State East, while 10-12 classification was Senior All State East.  Wyrick  and Mooney attended the festival February 5 - 7 in Gatlinburg, accompanied by Sullivan North High School Band Director Sherry Gillum.
