CSD Opening Day 2011!
Decatur Metro | July 26, 2011DHS teacher Chris Billingsley was good enough to take a few shots inside CSD’s Opening Day 2011 at the High School today. Here’s his accompanying note…
Attached are a few pictures of opening day activities for the high school and CSD. Ms. McKain told us that both the state school superintendent and the Lieutenant Governor, as well as local dignitaries will be here later on this week for the official opening of the DHS Career Academy. I think everyone had a great time meeting as a system and reflecting on some of the changes that have taken place in CSD over the past 50 years. And the food from Skips was terrific, of course! All are excited about the new school year.
And speaking of Mr. Billingsley, you gotta watch Patch’s video of the awards ceremony (after the jump and HERE) when he and Pat Cooper go up to receive recognition for 35 years of service. It gave me chills. Really cool stuff.

We are so blessed to have such dedicated educators, administrators & staff working in the City Schools of Decatur!
Mr. B is absolutely the coolest man in Decatur and an excellent role model for all of our young men. And his posts are among this blog’s most reasonable, thoughtful, and erudite. What a fabulous asset he is to our city.
Hurray for Mr. B! Some have said that he may retire soon but, given that he is so devoted to democratic process, would he let that decision be put to a vote? Many of us want him for our children coming up too! I hope he stays involved with the Decatur community and CSD in some way if he does retire.
