Greetings to all in the Alvirne Community,
I am a first time blogger and we will see how this works out. I will try to use this as a vehicle to let people know how things are going, what I think of some things that are going on (if you are interested) and in general to let you know more about Alvirne and about me.
For those of you who don't know a lot about me, I have been here as the Principal of Alvirne High School for the past 13 years. This is the seventh school that I have worked in. I started my teaching career in Houston, Texas in 1980 and spent 11 years in Texas as a science teacher, coach, and assistant principal. Most of the time, eight years, was spent at Kingwood High School in Kingwood, TX. I, at one time or another, have coached soccer, football, swimming, spring board diving, baseball and track. ( Baseball was the only thing I was unsuccessful at. I love the sport but don't know enough to teach it to others.)
My wife, two children and I moved to New Hampshire in 1991 and we have been living in Derry since then.
I have an undergraduate degree from Springfield College, a Masters in Education from Stephen F. Austin State University, a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study from The University of New Hampshire and I am currently taking courses that will hopefully lead to my doctorate in Educational Administration. I have a long term goal of retiring in the next ten years and teaching at the graduate level working with people who want to become school administrators.
Enough for the first time and I don't want to bore you with too much.
Mr. L
Hi Mr. Lane,
ReplyDeleteI am one of your students and I feel like I can speak for the caring and conscientious students when I say that we'd love to see more posts. We’re interested in staying informed on the school and you.
Thank you!
Hi Mr. Lane
ReplyDeleteI am one of the busy working parents and I thank you for all you do at AHS. Keep the blogs coming... I think it will add a new dimension to the website from an Administrative point of view.
Here's hoping for a spring like June and hopefully not a dog day June for all the students who will be making up the snow days.
Regards,
I came by to peek at the page and its really nice you share yourself and your life with everyone. My child will graduate this year and my oldest was under your wing also, thank you for all you have done for my children and others <3
ReplyDeleteI am one of your students, a junior this year, and I just wanted to say thank you for all you have done. I always see you at every game Alvirne has and every event supporting whatever it is we do. I'm sure you get alot of negative feedback but you deserve alot of appreciation for all you put up with and all you do for your students. Your a great principal and even though I'm slightly terrified of you, which I'm slowly over coming, I really appreciate your devotion to AHS
