Thomas Edison High School is in desperate need of applicants.

The following is being posted on various parent lists concerning Thomas Edison High School of Technology:

I know many of you are very aware of the positive impact Edison's programs have on students. Many students who have not been successful academically and who come to Edison end up turning themselves around doing very well in their tech program at Edison as well as in their academic classes in their home school. Their self-esteem and self-confidence soars. Students truly do experience success at Edison which, as you know, is a great motivator for all of us. Edison also offers college credits, certifications, and licenses. 

And, contrary to rumors, seventy five percent of our students go to college. Please take a moment to think about just one student who you know who may benefit from coming to Edison. The application says the deadline to apply to Edison's programs has passed . . . It has not. Also, please tell students they do NOT have to submit any teacher recommendations.

I have attached the application that you can email to or print for students. I also attached information about our community fair where students can come and find out about Edison's programs, apply, and have some fun. I truly appreciate your support.

Thank you, Judith
