At a special meeting on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 of the Windsor Locks Board of Education Meeting, the BOE appointed Mr. Steven Swensen as the next Windsor Locks High School Principal.
Upon the completion of a very exhaustive process, where over 50 people were involved, Superintendent Susie Bell recommended Mr. Swensen to the Board of Education for Appointment. Mr. Swensen comes to Windsor Locks with extensive school leadership experience, most recently as one of three Housemasters at Shelton High School in Shelton, Connecticut. In Shelton, Mr. Swensen was involved in many of the same changes Windsor Locks is undergoing to become a competency-based school district.
In addition, Mr. Swensen brings his 10+ years of experience as mathematics teacher to the district, along with numerous years of both Junior Varsity and Varsity coaching in Basketball and Softball.
Superintendent Bell said, “Mr. Swensen is a perfect fit for Windsor Locks High School. His experience, commitment, understanding of adolescents and young adults, and passion for helping all students achieve at high levels will have a positive impact on both Windsor Locks High School and the entire Windsor Locks Public Schools community.”
The Red Ribbon Campaign® is now the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation reaching millions of young people during Red Ribbon Week®
WHAT IS RED RIBBON WEEK?
It is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs. Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of the Red Ribbon, October 23 - 31st.
WHY?
The Red Ribbon Campaign® was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign® is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA.
WHO?
The National Family Partnership is the national sponsor of the Red Ribbon Campaign® We are helping citizens across the country come together to keep children, families and communities safe, healthy and drug-free, through parent training, networking and sponsoring the National Red Ribbon Campaign®.
WHY SUPPORT THE NATIONAL THEME?
A theme unifies each year’s campaign and helps to broadcast one message creating a tipping point to change behavior.
HOW?
Plan a Red Ribbon celebration. Order and display Red Ribbon materials with the National Red Ribbon Theme. Proceeds from the sale of Red Ribbon theme merchandise helps support prevention programs across America. Order for your family, students, staff, patients, employees and customers and encourage them to wear the red ribbon symbol during Red Ribbon Week.
