TESTIMONY FROM HF-L GRADUATE
TESTIMONY FROM A HFL GRADUATEMrs. DeFranco,
Hey there! It's been a while since we last spoke, but with the end of my first semester here at college, I wanted to
reach out and thank you real quick! In senior year ( 2016 ), I had taken your Intro class and had really enjoyed
it. It'd been a major contender in my choice to follow Psychology as a higher education and, although it had
taken me a while to get here, it's been one of the most positive experiences I've ever had and I'm on the track
to pass all of my classes with plenty of As! You're unique, engaging and fun teaching style really helped me
realize that studying people, their thoughts and the things they do is something I can pursue and - Hopefully,
someday! - apply to a profession that I will love just as much as I did your class. I've even gotten my whole
never turning in homework thing under control since finding a study that really speaks to me - Truthfully, I've even
been excited to do my assignments more often than not. I hear that some of my friends still in high school are
similarly affected by your wonderful classroom atmosphere and are thinking of seeking out similar career paths.
I can't speak for them as much, but I know that personally you've really made a profound effect and I can only
hope that my professors from this point on are as engaged and passionate about the classes they teach as you
were! I hope you are doing well as the rest of this year progresses and look forward to having many more of
your current students hopefully joining me soon!
With regards,
- E. Fargo

SS/Library/English Research Project
• Multidisciplinary Project involving research, writing, editing in ELA and Global Studies Content Area
• Library instruction in navigating databases (Gale and Ancestry.com), evaluating sources, and citing materials.
• Mrs. Pittman obtained a grant in order to purchase Ancestry.com K-12 for students to research their own ancestry. This is a high interest research activity-personalized research was a goal of this plan.
• Library time will include researching and note taking. Papers will be written in English classes and will be assessed for social studies content by social studies teachers and assessed for ELA standards by English teachers.

handling the bumps & bruises the world has in
store.

• COMPETENCE
• CONNECTION
• CHARACTER
• CONTRIBUTION
• COPING

community) are more likely to have a sense of
security that produces strong values & prevents
them from seeking harmful alternatives.
