To the commenter on 6/23/10: You said: "The superindendent makes decisions the school board should because that is the way it has always been done and the community supports that." You are apparently misinformed about how schools are supposed to operate. The superintendents and principals are the educated ones, not the school board. The superintendents and principals are the ones qualified to make decisions in the best interest of what's educationally sound and appropriate for students. Not the school board. School boards, if they are functioning correctly and abide within their parameters, should be taking the advice, suggestions and recommendation of the superintendents. To not do so is called micromanaging.

Although I graduated sometime ago, I still carry the values and ethics that Aguilar High School instilled in me. AHS may not have offered the best education out there, but they gave me more; more hands-on things to do like Auto shop. Auto shop gave me the ability to learn a new skill that will always be valuable to me throughout life. Athletics at AHS taught me team work, responsibility, to be punctual, to have heart and passion, and to strive to be better in life and in the game. People underestimate the value a small school has to offer, but overall, I gained the tools and knowledge of life, the tools that may get me further in life than just high CSAP scores could.
