The NEISD 360 Experience At Work
Posted by Mike and Carrie Mathews on 10/8/2018 12:11:00 PM
Mr. Mehlbrech,
I presume my wife and I are like many parents who wonder how well their kids were prepared when they graduated from Johnson HS. How do they measure up - not only to kids in Texas, but nationally?
I am happy to report your staff and faculty clearly prepared my son Garrett exceptionally well as he entered the US Military Academy at West Point.
West Point places new cadets into classes based on a holistic review of their academic records. They take their coursework, AP test scores, and ACT/SAT performance into account. They also give require them to take additional West Point placement exams, which are heavily weighted in their decisions.
Garrett tested into the upper-level math class, commonly nick-named "jedi" math. He tested into upper-level physics. He tested out of World History, and was placed into an upper-level regional history class. He is excelling physically - scoring very high on all tested requirements. He earned several awards during "Beast Barracks." He is trying new things - joining clubs, and trying out for the National Championship caliber Judo Team. He was clearly ready for the rigors of West Point - academically, physically, socially.
I could provide you with a dozen stories about his experiences at Johnson. But, I want to confirm what I am sure you already know - we are very, very fortunate to have such exceptional teachers, coaches, and staff at Johnson.
It doesn't happen by accident - so thank you for your leadership.
Most importantly however, I want to offer a heart-felt thanks to all of his teachers, counselors, and coaches for setting him on a path to achieve his full potential. We are eternally grateful for what you've done for our son.
Sincerely,
Mike and Carrie Mathews
