Dear Students,

On behalf of the Vicenza Middle and High School staff, I welcome all new and returning students to what promises to be a fantastic school year!

We hope that each of you has had a summer with plenty of fun distractions from school work and are now eager to start "cracking the books" and getting involved in extracurricular activities.

Together with last school year's teachers. 10 new teachers will offer some new and exciting course to include 10th grade Honors classes in English and World History, College Prep, and Middle School Career Experience.

Plans are underway to implement activities that will give middle school students their own identity. Students have already spoken to the assistant principal and me about a need to increase school sprit. Be prepared to give the Student Council and your class officers some ideas that will make Vicenza High school the very best DoDDS high school. We can be proud of our school!

We also welcome parent and community volunteers in our school. Encourage your parents to become positive, active members of our school community.

We wish you a very exhilarating and successful school year.

Kathleen Reiss,
Principal
