A summer time job during high school was a great way to earn some financial independence, pay for your first set of wheels, and put away dollars for college.
For many, it was the first time that we interacted with the world outside the shelter of our home. Most of us learned valuable, life-long skills as a result of that work. Others discovered what they absolutely didn't want to do when they grew up! Anyway, share some of your memories and how they impacted your life after Dayton Christian...
If one were starting (from scratch) a brand new Christian School, what would be the top priorities in its formation? What have DC Alumni gleaned from life and from their experiences all around the world, that could benefit a Christian institution right now? What failures have you seen in your own local schools and what significant improvements have they made? What was done well / poorly during your days at DCHS - and what could still have an impact on students today? What things work well in the business world, the university level, or your church community that might translate into the classrooms or to the administration of a Christian School in 2012?
There are no right or wrong answers here - just thought it would be a fun, lively and insightful discussion topic! And I also thought it would be very cool to draw from the collective wisdom of our sagely alumni family... Who knows, your best suggestions might actually be stepping-stones to real, positive changes in the world of Christian education tomorrow! We welcome your thoughts, comments and awesome ideas!
