NEC Open House Packet

 October 17, 2016
Dear Prospective Blake Parents and Students,
We are delighted you are joining us tonight for the annual Northeast Consortium (NEC) Open House program
at James Hubert Blake High School. Tonight presents an opportunity for you to get a glimpse of our school and
all we have to offer. Since Blake opened its doors in 1998, our evolving community of students, staff, and
parents has been a source of tremendous pride. We enjoy sharing the growth and accomplishments of our
academic, signature, athletic and career readiness programs.
There are many reasons why Blake has been the most often requested high school in the Northeast Consortium
Choice Process for the majority of the years this process has been in place. In short, it begins and ends with the
quality of our total academic program. Parents comment on the tremendous results of our Ninth Grade Academy,
which features supports that help to ease both the academic and social transitions from middle school to high
school. Our course offerings include diverse electives and the most extensive Advanced Placement selection in
the Northeast Consortium, elements that provide students opportunities that in many cases are unique to the
Blake experience. Our career readiness model helps students identify and focus on career goals and complete
“capstone” experiences that synthesize the learning in many classes. A tour of our one-lunch period is a model
of how to “lunch and learn”, with one-on-one teacher-student work, clubs and activities, and teacher professional
development. While we are in our nineteenth year as a school, visitors frequently comment on how new our
facility looks, which we attribute to the great pride our students, staff and community take in all that happens at
James Hubert Blake High School.
As you tour this evening, we hope you will come away impressed by the contagious enthusiasm of our school
community. Our signature program in the arts and humanities, for which we are known countywide, will surely
dazzle you. We are confident you will be equally impressed by our offerings in math, science, technology and
the richness of our overall school program and environment. Please talk to our students- they are our very best
ambassadors and are unfailingly candid about their experiences here. Also, take the time to speak with parents
of Blake students within your community. They, too, will relate personal reasons why Blake is a school with
high expectations for all students.
We hope that you enjoy your tour and will take the time to ask questions of the many students and staff who are
here this evening. We have made a conscious effort to maximize your time seeing and experiencing our program.
At the end of the open house, we would appreciate your filling out the short feedback form to let us know if this
program met your needs and expectations.
Have a wonderful evening. We hope to see you next year as James Hubert Blake High School students and
parents.
Sincerely,
Christopher S. Berry
