Leaders of Tomorrow

The Leadership Assistant Program at Chartiers Valley offers seniors a unique opportunity to step into the real world without stepping out of the high school.

Students assist a teacher in a classroom setting on a daily basis, giving them the opportunity to develop their leadership skills. In addition, the program reinforces responsibility while enabling students to strengthen their organizational and interpersonal skills.

Once students are accepted into the program, their duties may include:

• Assisting in classroom or project set-up
• Remediation
• In-class tutoring
• Concept explanation or reinforcement
• Planning and coordinating individual or group activities

Brittany King, Chartiers Valley Class of 2012, said the Leadership Assistant program helped her figure out what she wants to do. Brittany worked as an assistant in a special education classroom and now plans to study special education at West Virginia University this fall.

Brittany was recently featured in "District Administration" -- a national education magazine -- for her involvement in Chartiers Valley's Leadership Assistant Program.

Hats Off to the Graduates

On June 7, 260 graduates processed onto the field at Chartiers Valley High School to receive their diplomas at the 52nd Annual Commencement ceremony.

Student speakers Grace Moraca, Samuel Rubenstein and Brendan Steinbock all had a meaningful final message for their peers before they officially joined the ranks of CV alumni.

Co-Principal Mr. Tom Samosky and Superintendent Dr. Brian White also addressed the graduates. Mr. Samosky told the graduates that life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react. He urged them to remember that ratio as they go throughout life.

Dr. White began by having a little fun with the graduates, who were popping up out of their seats every time the “Class of 2012” was mentioned.

“It is my pleasure and distinct honor to welcome all parents, family, friends, faculty, board members, distinguished guests and, of course, the class of 2012… the class of 2012… the class of 2012… to the 52nd commencement exercise at Chartiers Valley High School,” began Dr. White as the students popped up and down.

After the speeches, the graduates received their diplomas before leaving the field and beginning the next chapter of their lives.
