Westside High is a wonderful school
Letter to the Editor
Monday, May 28, 2007COMMENTPRINTEMAIL I am a parent of children in the Richmond County school system. I want to share a few thoughts about our school system.

My children have been attending Westside High School for the past seven years. This is our first public school; my children are military brats and have always attended private schools. As the end of our Westside adventure is near, I want to thank this school for being the best school in my children's path.

My first son is now in Morehouse School of Medicine; my second son is a senior at Georgetown University; and our youngest is graduating and will attend Augusta State University. These past seven years have blessed us with teachers who really care and nurture students - especially Ms. Radkoski, Ms. Newhall, Mr. Grant, Coach Holcombe and Ms. Wright, to name just a few. I would like to especially thank Ms. Colvin for not just being a counselor but being the driving force that motivated my sons to follow dreams. Mr. Spivey and Mr. Taylor, thanks for keeping them out of trouble.

Westside, I will miss the family atmosphere and the friendly voice on the phone, Ms. Dean. God bless the Westside family. I will see you again in 2011.

Gail Fitzpatrick, Augusta
