As we approach the beginning of a new school year, one must reflect upon the accolades of the year past. In that reflection, I would like to say thank you to the graduating class of 2007. In retrospect, the Auto Tech Department, for the first time in the history of Donaldson Career Center, has brought forth a CATE student of the year.

That student's name is Steven Andrew Watson. He came to Donaldson, like all students do, with their personal agenda. He left with a global agenda and his future bright. We at Donaldson Career Center are about preparing our students for what the future holds. Despite opposition in popular belief as to what Career and Technology Education is all about, we continue to teach, with great vigor and tenacity and make way for new horizons of opportunity, for it is the student that then becomes the teacher, and thus, impacts the world.

It takes just one student to make a difference in the world as we know it. And one student at a time is how we compassionately, counsel, teach, lead, and facilitate a learning environment. Let us continue to carry on, no matter what, and indeed face the changes that are coming, but yet still survive. Let the learning begin.

Mr.Haney B.A., M.Div., Master Tech ASE Cert.
