~Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.~  

Barack Obama

 

Hi!  This is my first year as Advisor to the GHS Dukes Dispatch and I am thrilled to be working alongside such a great group of students this semester!  After deciding to revamp the entire format of the online newspaper, I was overwhelmed by how quickly the students accepted the additional responsibility of creating a student newspaper from scratch!  These first semester journalism students are amazing and haven risen to the task with remarkable passion and commitment. I commend all their hard work!
