"ST. LOUIS, MO, January 6, 2009 – On behalf of all parents in the St. Louis Public School District, the Clyde C. Miller Career Academy’s Parent Teacher Organization would like to officially welcome Dr. Kelvin Adams as the district’s new Superintendent by hosting a reception January 14th, 2009 from 6:00p.m. – 7:30p.m. at the Career Academy High School, Commons Room, 1000 N. Grand.
“It is an honor to have Dr. Adams,” said J Morris, President of the Clyde C. Miller Parent Teacher Organization. “He is a strong leader and an asset to our children and schools. As parents we would like to give him a proper welcome into the community.”
Parking will be available in the school’s parking lot located at the corner of Josephine Baker and Cook. Welcoming remarks will be provided by the Clyde C. Miller Parent Teacher Organization with student hosts from the school escorting attendees and serving refreshments.
In addition, parents, representing schools from across the district, will serve as presenters on behalf of the district’s elementary, middle and high schools. Dr. Adams will conclude the evening by highlighting his academic vision and visiting with attendees in a receiving line.
Dr. Adams joined the St. Louis Public School as the new Superintendent in November 2008. With more than 30 years in education, his experiences made him a top candidate for the position. Since taking office he has spearheaded efforts to restore St. Louis Public Schools back to original glory.
“There are numerous opportunities for us as a district,” said Dr. Adams, “If we pull together as a community we can help each child learn and succeed.”
Since stepping into his new role, Dr. Adams has implemented changes to improve each student’s educational opportunities through curriculum, community outreach, volunteerism, and much more." Courtesy of St. Louis Public Schools Home Page

Welcome Mr. Adams!!
The family is a critical component to any child’s life. When it comes to education, no greater statistic stands truer today than the achievement gap between students whose parents are involved in their education process and those who do not have that support. Personal responsibility, safety and education are key elements to bringing up the next generation.
After 10 years of experience leading a volunteer program in my children’s elementary and middle schools, I launched Schools And Families Engaged (the S.A.F.E. TEAM on Campus) in 2008 to meet the needs of schools and families. Many of the school's families do not know where to begin in school. Many parents today never had an example of their parents supporting the school let alone they may not have enjoyed their personal schooling experience. Why would they have a desire to serve? You only know what you have experienced.
