A month ago a unique opportunity came about for me. My lab teacher (Mrs. Fletcher) suggested the opportunity to work closely with Ohio Hi-Point’s finest administration member, Mrs. Kim Davis, the superintendent of Ohio Hi-Point Career Center.  Being eager to accept any educational opportunity presented to myself I quickly agreed! The chance to experience the work of an administration member is unique and usually isn’t easy to secure due to confidentiality concerns which students are not part of. On my day with Mrs., Davis I reviewed the work of superintendent in preparation of a school board meeting which was being held later in the evening. She walked me through the review process making sure that the data she and her staff members submitted was accurately represented within the board members agendas.  One of the most unique things about OHP board members is that their meeting agendas are presented to them on their iPads provided by the school. Members receive the most up to date agenda the day of their meeting, and then follow  along using the technology! She explained it as a conserving measure which saves personal from running copies and wasting paper to print lengthy agendas and supporting documents.
Not only was this chance to job shadow eye opening it was inspiring, I gathered insight from one of the hardest working superintendents I have had the pleasure to meet and get to know. Knowing I want to become a superintendent one day, Mrs. Davis has inspired me to work even harder and dedicate myself to the world of education. I am very thankful for this opportunity!
