Dr. Samuel P. Scavella, Principal

Welcome to The Principal’s Page! The 2012–2013 school year will be filled with excitement and many new learning opportunities. We are excited and proud to announce that all of our healthcare programs are now Industry Certified by the Georgia Department of Education. In addition, we recently went through the SACS Accreditation Process and were granted full accreditation, which speaks to the quality of education at our school.

High School is a time to refine our students’ talents, skills, attitudes, and beliefs as they mature to a serious state of consciousness and work towards a common goal – that is, to graduate with a high school diploma prepared to enter and complete their college or post-secondary pursuits and take their place in society as responsible citizens of the community, state, and nation. At Booker T. Washington High School of Health Science and Nutrition (HSN), we strive for excellence. Below are our standards to ensure that each student meets our expectations and arrives at a state of excellence.

Standards of Excellence

The staff at Booker T. Washington will:

· Create a safe nurturing environment that encourages students to accept and find the best in themselves and others

· Challenge students to reach their full academic potential

· Help students find the inner confidence they need to take calculated risks and set goals in their lives

· Instill in students a sense of responsibility and respect for themselves, their school, and their community

· Ensure students graduate with the skills and mindset to enter and complete college, a post secondary educational program, or are career ready to enter the workforce

Please take the time to peruse our website. You will find some very important information as it relates to the success of all youth at Washington HSN High School. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact me at sscavella@atlanta.k12.ga.us.

To all of our past, present, and future Washingtonians, welcome to the land where the Bulldogs dwell, where we are, “WORKING TOGETHER TO GRADUATE…students who are…fully prepared…ready to excel…in college and healthcare!”

Yours in Education,

Samuel P. Scavella, Ph.D.
