New principal at Italy High School, Tanya Parker, has invited all high school and jr high parents to a short meeting on Tuesday, August 18 at 7:00pm. “At this meeting, I want to welcome you to the 2009-2010 school year, share my vision and focus, inform you of where we stand as a school now, and where I would like to see us in the future. I will also be asking for volunteers to assist in this ‘journey’ as well as to assist in planning the roadmap of our future,” Parker wrote in a recent letter to all parents. Parker wants all parents to “come together as a learning community with a common vision and focus with an emphasis on academic and athletic excellence.”

The meeting will be held in the cafeteria and an Athletic Booster Club meeting is scheduled immediately following.
