Collegiate High Realized
The building that will house the Arlington Collegiate High School at Tarrant County College Southeast Campus is taking shape, and administrators and staff are getting ready to make it a reality. In late Spring, AISD Superintendent Dr. Marcelo Cavazos and TCC Chancellor Erma Johnson Hadley solidified this unique partnership with a memorandum of understanding signing event in the North Ballroom at the TCC Southeast Campus. This week, the 125 students in the inaugural class completed a week-long summer bridge program. And in less than two weeks, the Arlington Collegiate High School will officially open, allowing students an opportunity to not only earn a high school diploma but also leave after four years with an associates degree. | The inaugural Arlington Collegiate High School at Tarrant County College Southeast Campus class is pictured after finishing the summer bridge program.

Effective Leadership
Marathon Man
Be careful what you say around Johns Elementary PE teacher Randy Williams when it comes to running. He's a marathoner who wants everyone else to be a marathoner, too - because he thinks they can. Johns colleague Monica Leal once told Williams how his running "inspired" her, and how she wouldn't mind doing something like that one day. A few days later, Williams asked if Leal really wanted to train for a run. | Johns Elementary PE teacher Randy Williams inspires both his fellow teachers and his students, pictured here at the 2014 AISD Earth Day Run, to get moving.
