We ♥ Senn High School

We ♥ Senn. And we want to encourage as many students as possible to experience its benefits. To have this happen, Senn must remain a general community high school, open to all, dedicated to having each and every student thrive. To help make sure this happens, come out to the community meeting at the high school on Monday, March 10 to be part of rolling out the Senn Strategic Plan. Spread the word. This plan, with input from over 2,000 people, is a path for further improving Senn H.S.

We would ♥ to have Senn remain a school in which the educators can teach students to be creative and think critically about issues and ideas in their lives and the wider society. The Senn Strategic Plan encourages further development of this. It includes opportunities in fine arts and international studies, college and career options. As vision is translated into reality, it should attract many more students.

We would ♥ Senn H.S. to flourish and expand, and for the Naval Academy to be removed from the school building so there can be space for this expansion to take place. This military academy was put into the Senn building over the objections of students, faculty, parents, and the overwhelming majority of the community, and has squeezed existing programs.

Save Senn in particular objects to this naval military academy being part of the recruitment efforts to get more students into the military to fight the illegal and unjust wars of the U.S. government; the recruitment rate of students who are in such military programs is over 40%. Speaking of the navy– It is now a more and more dangerous branch to serve in: Right now the U.S. government is threatening Iran with the possibility of a military attack, with half of the naval fleet stationed right off the shore of Iran. Navy personnel are being used as ground soldiers in the illegal and unjust U.S. occupation of Iraq.
