Southeast High School The SHS Tiger Football team is excited! This week the "Friday Night Lights" will once again go on, as Southeast faces Newton in a battle of the Tigers. The team and coaches have been hard at work in the sweltering summer heat, and are geared up and ready to show everyone what they are made of. The Tigers are led by Coaches Charles Black (head), Andrew Hardy, Chris Harper, Jay Hayes, Centel Truman, and CJ Jenkins. Southeast High is happy to welcome 5 new staff members this year. Joining us are Andrew Hardy (Social Studies/Asst. Football Coach), Leigha Barnard (Math), Melissa Carney (Secretary), Russell Keene (Testing Coordinator/Curriculum Specialist), and Roy McNeil (Special Services Coordinator). We welcome these awesome professionals to SHS! Teachers of SHS are excited about school starting back and are ready to make a positive change. With test scores on the rise but not where we would like them to be yet, the faculty and staff are 100% committed to making Southeast High the best that it can be. The faculty met to discuss positive changes that will occur in the 2014-2015 school year, including more test preparation, a daily advisory period, and more incentives for positive behavior and outcomes. The "Staffulty" (staff & faculty) of SHS are "on board," which they demonstrated by joining together in the meeting and literally standing on a board. We do not take the symbolic gesture lightly. All of the staff at SHS are here to help students and parents. We plan to have a great year! 7
