TRADITION

WELL BEFORE WE CAN BLOG ABOUT THE PRESENT AND FUTURE, I THINK WE MUST PAY HOMAGE TO THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE YOU. ONE OF THE PEOPLE I ADMIRED AND RESPECTED WHEN I FIRST CAME TO NORTON WAS MR.MOLLICA, I REALLY RESPECTED THE TRADITIONS HE ESTABLISHED IN HIS GYM CLASSROOM OR ON THE BASEBALL FIELD, WHETHER IT BE SIX BASE KICKBALL OR WEARING NUMBER 13. HE REALLY BELIEVED IN ESTABLISHING TRADITONS AND LEGACY . I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DO THE SAME WITH AP US ESTABLISHING THE AP US HALL OF FAME, EACH CLASSES RECORD, AND EVENING/SATURDAY FOOD-FILLED REVIEW SESSIONS. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, THE AP US HALL OF FAME FROM 2006-PRESENT

???????????????????

CLASSES RECORDS(PERCENTAGE OF CLASS THAT GOT A 3 OR ABOVE ON THE EXAM)

2006 68 PERCENT (NATIONAL AVERAGE WAS 48 PERCENT)
2007 67 PERCENT(NATIONAL AVERAGE WAS 50 PERCENT)
2008 75 PERCENT(NATIONAL AVERAGE TBA, RELEASED BY NOVEMBER)
2009 ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

SO NOW WE HAVE PAID RESPECT TO THE TRADITION OF THOSE THAT CAME BEFORE YOU, BUT I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE ANSWER OF HOW WELL THE AP CLASS OF 2009 DOES. THATS ALL FOR THIS BLOG, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU WILL WELCOME THE VALUE OF TRADITION, I WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE A LEGENDARY COACH WHO WORE AN UNLUCKY NUMBER TO REMIND ME JUST BY THE PASSION HE DEMONSTRATED FOR WHAT HE LOVED TO DO, YEAR IN AND YEAR OUT.
