What Becoming A School Of Excellence Means To Me
“Rich Richards” I heard Doctor Spencer call my name as I walked up to the podium at graduation. “Congratulations, Rich. It has been a pleasure having you here at Davidson College”. These are the words that students attending a school of excellence hear at their college graduation. Becoming a school of excellence is the springboard for a bright future in life. I believe that becoming a school of excellence helps students get into college, drives students to work harder, and is less expensive and more efficient than private schools.
First, becoming a school of excellence helps students in getting into college.

Attending a school of excellence can make a huge difference in children’s lives that are hoping to go to college.

As evidence, I was going to attend Cannon School until I got into Davidson IB Middle. I was very lucky to get into this school of excellence because tuition a Cannon School is $7,000 a year. Attending a public school of excellence such as Davidson IB Middle is a great opportunity for less fortunate kids who are concentrating on academics.

Just being a part of such an honorable program makes students want to get good grades and make their school proud. For Example, students who learn at school such as Alexander Middle have no passion for learning. At Davidson IB learning is something that makes a person proud.
