Maury Student Earns Book Review Honor

Congratulations to Anna-Britta Pincus, a senior, who won the Friends of the Norfolk Public Library Book Review Contest.  Anna's entry won the Best Overall category of the contest.  She is a student in the AP English Literature class taught by Ms. Sharon Davidson-Cook.

 

Maury High School Earns Recognition as a Top American High School

Maury High School made Newsweek's and The Daily Beast's list of America's Best High Schools in terms of preparing students for college.  Schools were invited to participate. The rankings took into consideration measures of college readiness, including graduation rates, participation in college-level classes via Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, and acceptance into a two- or four-year college program.

 

Algebra Tutorials

Teachers James Fox, Michele Michels, and Wes Price have worked to produce a collection of Algebra tutorial videos to help students review concepts for the SOL tests coming in May.  These are great tools for parents who may want to help their children with homework, too.  Visit the Algebra Remediation Page to view the whole collection. 

Norfolk Teacher of the year Shawn Ellis is building a similar site for Geometry.
