Welcome To Edgewater High School!
"The Pride of College Park and Orlando"
Week five saw us have many highs and some lows, from having over 90% of our 9th and 10th grade students tested on FAST PM 1 in two days, an EPIC pep rally on Friday by EA Sports, and continued excellence in the classrooms. In athletics, our swim team was fantastic against Colonial High School and even in defeat both our varsity football and volleyball teams played their hearts out. In this edition of the Eagle’s Call, I want to dive into our second pillar of success: pride.
Pride is defined in the Oxford dictionary as “a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired”. I believe that if our students have pride in themselves and their classmates, then the high expectations of academic achievement will soar here on campus. Having pride in our collective academic success will create a lasting legacy that all students will strive to emulate in the years to come.
Having pride in our school extends far beyond the school itself, as we have to showcase pride on all playing fields and in all our clubs and organizations. Win or lose, how we carry ourselves allows us to showcase the pride we have in our school. How we exemplify excellence when we represent Edgewater shows others that our pride in our school should be admired. As we continue to build on integrity, pride, and tradition to be committed to excellence, remember that we must showcase pride when people are watching and when people are not watching.
