Decatur Principal Tom Leacy Principal's Message to the Class of 2008 and Beyond

 

February 2007

 

Welcome Gators!

In today’s highly competitive world it takes planning to achieve your dreams. Decatur High School, in partnership with the State of Washington, has implemented new graduation requirements that ask you to look beyond your high school experience and develop an individualized plan to realize those dreams.

All graduates of the Class of 2008 and beyond are required to meet a higher standard than those of previous years. This up to date website is intended to help you understand what those requirements are so that you can build upon what you learn each year.

We want each student to become an advocate of their own future.

Using the resources of this website and those available at Decatur and in the community, you can develop a personal plan for your future. We look forward to making the next few years of your academic life beneficial and productive.

Remember - YOU are the most important factor in your future success!

With Gator Pride,

Thomas B. Leacy
