Whitmarsh and Eberhart

In a recent email sent from Walnut Creek Schools Together Now, it appears that the group is recommending their supporters vote Sherry Whitmarsh and Gary Eberhart for the two available MDUSD Board seats in the upcoming election.

Ms. Carver reminds voters, "In 2010, we will be able to vote for 3 candidates, which is a majority of the Board. That must be a referendum on the progress that the Board and superintendent will make in the next 2 years. They must work together for the good of the students. We must hold them to a high standard in that time!"

Northgate Climate Committee

PFC President, Monica Fitzgerald, has recently distributed an email with a link to a survey regarding the state of the school. The survey covers academics, school culture, communication, and a host of other topics.

According to Monica, "We are developing a Northgate Climate Committee to make recommendations and implement long range curriculum and expenditure goals for our school. We want to create a vision for how we want Northgate to grow. "

Please make sure you check your email and complete your survey. This is another step in a positive direction for Northgate High School.
