Grade your teachers

The National Education Association has asked members of the graduating class of 1997 to grade their school experience.

The Association would like to know what graduates got out of their 12 years of studies. Students can email comments to graduate@neatoday.nea.org or post their comments on NEA's World Wide Web page, located at http://www.nea.org/graduate.

NEA personnel are conducting this survey because they want to know what works and what doesn't. The information will be used to help teach students more effectively. Students' opinions and comments will be printed in an annual "report card" to teachers and will be available to the general public in the fall. The NEA expects the report card to become an annual project.

Braithwaite has been active in the high school ministry at Calvary in both service and leadership activities. She will attend Asuza Pacific College in Southern California this fall.

The scholarship is awarded in memory Valerie Pfeiffer, a 1985 graduate of Los Gatos High School who was killed in an automobile accident.
