“Where Teens Dream, Believe,
and Achieve.”
On June 5, 2003, High Road Academy of Prince George’s
County (HRA) hosted their first annual Career Day. Mrs.
Patricia Newby, HRA reading specialist, and several of
our high school students, organized the event to offer
our students the opportunity to be exposed to a variety
of careers.
As the chairperson, Mrs. Newby invited several HRA parents
as well as people from the community to address our students.
Among these people was Ms. Billie Dent Armstrong, professional
race car driver, and Mr. Mike McLeese, Director of Athletics.
The program began with a speech by HRA student and master
of ceremony Charles Dixon. In his speech he discussed
reaching your goals and achieving your dreams; which set
the tune for the ceremony.
One after another, the lecturers spoke on characteristics
such as motivation, dedication, and perseverance. The
speakers stressed the importance of an education combined
with the above characteristics when approaching post secondary
and/or career options. The students showed their appreciation
with a standing ovation at the end of the event. High
Road Academy of Prince George’s County would like
to thank Mrs. Patricia Newby, students of HRA and the
speakers for a job well done.
