“One of the greatest things you have in life is that no one has the authority to tell you what you want to be. You’re the one who’ll decide what you want to be. Respect yourself and respect the integrity of others as well. The greatest thing you have is your self-image, a positive opinion of yourself. You must never let anyone take it from you.”– Jaime Escalante (Educator – his work inspired the movie “Stand and Deliver”)
Hailey Safranek demonstrated RESPECT when discussing a grading error with a teacher. Thank you, Hailey!

 ***Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership is an application-based summer leadership seminar open to current sophomores who would participate in a program held on a college campus in June. HOBY’s State Leadership Seminar is designed to help high school sophomores recognize their leadership talents and apply them to become effective, ethical leaders in their home, school, and community. When looking for students to nominate from Cannon, we are looking for more than just a good GPA. We are looking for students with some common attributes such as: outstanding communication skills, critical thinking, creative problem solving, strong decision making, courage, and an interest in community service. If you’re interested in learning more, the flyer below is your invitation for an upcoming Lunch and Learn with College Counseling. For more information, contact Mrs. Brayboy at cbrayboy@cannonschool.org.
****Hello Juniors! Governor’s School Applications are OPEN! The Governor’s School is an application-based, four-week residential summer program for talented high school students. It allows students to explore an academic or arts discipline on a college campus. Cannon School can nominate as many as 2 students from the academic disciplines (English, World Languages (Spanish at Governor’s School West), Mathematics, Natural Science, and Social Science). Regardless of the academic disciplines that students choose to apply for, Cannon School can only nominate 2 students.

Fall 2022 Driver Education Program (Virtual)This year, Cannon School has contracted with a local company to offer a virtual driver education program during the fall semester. Classes and behind-the-wheel instruction will be provided by WatsOnWheels (https://www.watsonwheelsnc.com/). WatsOnWheels has agreed to offer Cannon students a discount and provide the course for $450 per student. The classes will be held Monday, November 7th through Friday, November 18th from 4:00 – 7:00. Students must be 14½ years of age when the classes begin to be eligible to register. To complete the class, students must have thirty hours of class time and six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. We hope to offer another class in the spring through WatsOnWheels, but we have yet to schedule specific dates. After the class portion is complete, the instructor will coordinate with students individually to complete the behind-the-wheel requirements during their school drop periods or after school hours. The $450 fee is due on the first day of class and may be charged to the student’s Cannon School account or paid in the form of a check made out to “Watson Wheels LLC”. To register for the fall driver education class, please complete this Google Form https://forms.gle/F6ruEG9bY3LTNash6 If you have additional questions, please email me (khulin@cannonschool.org).
