There are many transitions in one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life. You make a\u00c2\u00a0transition from an embryo to a newborn, then a transition\u00c2\u00a0from newborn to toddler, and so on. As we age we go from\u00c2\u00a0young-adult to adult and then to a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153senior\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. I am a senior\u00c2\u00a0this year and will be graduating from employee to retiree.<\/p>\n
It is with a heavy heart that I will say goodbye to this\u00c2\u00a0profession after nearly 31 years of service. I have had the\u00c2\u00a0good fortune to have worked in some very good programs\u00c2\u00a0all across the state of Alaska and in the Lower 48. My last\u00c2\u00a0three years have been spent at Steller. It has been a most\u00c2\u00a0challenging and enjoyable journey. You all should feel\u00c2\u00a0proud of what the Steller community has done. We need to\u00c2\u00a0keep supporting one another and working out problems\u00c2\u00a0together. Our students and staff are awesome and our\u00c2\u00a0parents are second to none. It has been a privilege and an\u00c2\u00a0honor to have worked with all of you over the past 3 years.<\/p>\n
Please continue to grow and reach out to others in the\u00c2\u00a0greater Anchorage area. I spoke to the principal at West one\u00c2\u00a0day and he said to me during one of our conversations that\u00c2\u00a0\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Steller Kids are my Kids too. So many of your kids take\u00c2\u00a0class at my school I fell like they are mine too.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And that is\u00c2\u00a0true, our kids take classes and do every sort of sport you can\u00c2\u00a0name at West and Romig to a lesser degree. Please grow that\u00c2\u00a0relationship. \u00c2\u00a0It is one that will prove productive for both West and\u00c2\u00a0Steller. I think we should also grow our relationship with the two\u00c2\u00a0universities [UAA & APU] as well as the Confucius Institute.\u00c2\u00a0These relationships [among others] epitomize what I believe Steller\u00c2\u00a0is about.<\/p>\n
Choice in how kids learn, choice in where they go to learn,\u00c2\u00a0internships, and mentorships are all hallmarks of Steller that make this\u00c2\u00a0program a worthwhile and viable educational option. But, as times\u00c2\u00a0change, as technology becomes omnipresent; the skills needed to\u00c2\u00a0navigate this frontier become qualifications to finding a great job\u00c2\u00a0not just an addendum on a r\u00c3\u00a9sum\u00c3\u00a9 we need to be on the cutting\u00c2\u00a0edge of this renaissance, not lagging behind. As Steller moves\u00c2\u00a0forward in its bid for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Capital Projects Funding\u00e2\u20ac\u009d give thought to\u00c2\u00a0how the project will best serve all of our kids, how it will serve all\u00c2\u00a0of our teachers and how it will make Steller even better able to\u00c2\u00a0prepare our students for life after High School.<\/p>\n
On the one hand I wish that I could be around to help with this\u00c2\u00a0process, yet both my family and I are happy about my decision to\u00c2\u00a0hang up the pencils and erasers.<\/p>\n
I wish you all the best of luck in your search for a new principal\u00c2\u00a0and with your continued journey towards and beyond excellence.<\/p>\n
Yours Sincerely,<\/p>\n
Harlod A. Green<\/p>\n
