I have had the honor of participating in SPA events for the last four years. For many CSD students, SPA is their last chance to achieve academic success. The school has been national honored for developing and utilizing best and extremely successful practices in re-engaging students thought be on their way to dropping-out and/or total academic failure. It is CSD's shining star - powered by the dedication of its teachers, support specialists, and administration. Its walls teem with students once thought lost and now on their way to bright futures! Our SPA team deserves tremendous recognition for their job well-done. Thank you!
Sarah Pyle Academy's Banquet Honors Graduating Class of 2013
Sarah Pyle Academy's Banquet Honors Graduating Class of 2013
It was a night of the stars for the Sarah Pyle Academy (SPA) graduating Senior Class of 2013. On May 23, over 150 parents, staff and special guests celebrated an evening of outstanding student achievements in academics, earned scholarships, and excellence in the classroom. Over 75 awards were presented to SPA Scholars as well as "Teacher of the Year" Awards to Najma Landis 2012 (English) and Peggy Weader 2013 (Math).
This year's banquet theme focused on inspiring SPA graduates to continue their journey into college, military or other selected career choice for lifelong learning. Although some students experienced difficulties and others lack of support or road blocks that could have caused major setbacks to completing graduation requirements, they still continued to attend school, earn credits, and perform in the classroom to complete senior status.
The Class of 2013 consisted of 47 June graduates and 44 August graduates. In their efforts to take next steps towards their "Life After SPA," many SPA Scholars received acceptances from the following colleges which includes Wilmington University, Delaware Technical and Community College, Goldey Beacom College, Wesley College, New York Conservatory for the Dramatic Arts, Harcum College, Allegany College of Maryland, University of Delaware and Delaware State University.
SPA students were given famous inspirational quotes throughout the banquet program to help continue through the next chapter of their lives after graduation. They were encouraged to go into our communities and neighborhoods to "unlock" their true potential in front of others to ensure a prosperous future.
