I have had the honor of participating in SPA events for the last four years. For many CSD students, SPA is their last chance to achieve academic success. The school has been national honored for developing and utilizing best and extremely successful practices in re-engaging students thought be on their way to dropping-out and/or total academic failure. It is CSD's shining star - powered by the dedication of its teachers, support specialists, and administration. Its walls teem with students once thought lost and now on their way to bright futures! Our SPA team deserves tremendous recognition for their job well-done. Thank you!
Sarah Pyle Academy's Banquet Honors Graduating Class of 2013
Sarah Pyle Academy's Banquet Honors Graduating Class of 2013
It was a night of the
stars for the Sarah Pyle Academy (SPA) graduating Senior Class of 2013.
On May 23, over 150 parents, staff and special guests celebrated an
evening of outstanding student achievements in academics, earned
scholarships, and excellence in the classroom. Over 75 awards were
presented to SPA Scholars as well as "Teacher of the Year" Awards to Najma Landis 2012 (English) and Peggy Weader 2013 (Math).
This year's banquet
theme focused on inspiring SPA graduates to continue their journey into
college, military or other selected career choice for lifelong learning.
Although some students experienced difficulties and others lack of
support or road blocks that could have caused major setbacks to
completing graduation requirements, they still continued to attend
school, earn credits, and perform in the classroom to complete senior
status.
The Class of 2013
consisted of 47 June graduates and 44 August graduates. In their efforts
to take next steps towards their "Life After SPA," many SPA Scholars
received acceptances from the following colleges which includes
Wilmington University, Delaware Technical and Community College, Goldey
Beacom College, Wesley College, New York Conservatory for the Dramatic
Arts, Harcum College, Allegany College of Maryland, University of
Delaware and Delaware State University.
SPA students were given
famous inspirational quotes throughout the banquet program to help
continue through the next chapter of their lives after graduation. They
were encouraged to go into our communities and neighborhoods to "unlock"
their true potential in front of others to ensure a prosperous future.

Great! I thought the Academy was gone when the building was usurped by Joe Wise for the CSD administration.
That just warmed my heart... Yay Teachers! Yay Public Education!
Lots of good things happen in CSD and other traditional school districts every day. Unfortunately, the News Journal has decided that these accomplishments are NOT news.
And yes, Yah! to Teachers and Public Education!
