Anacostia has a vast need for a stronger principal and leadership team as well some long-standing teachers who are willing to be team players. We need a partner that can offer our students a vocational track with various certified positions that they can obtain along with their high school dipolma. Most of all we need our parents to be more actively involved.

At Anacostia SHS the glass is 'half full, not half empty' as our principal always says. The school is headed in the right direction, one of many indicators is that our graduation rate has increased. The staff is focused on teaching and learning, not the negative press that is often in the news. Anacostia SHS is an excellent place to teach and a great environment to work.

Anacostia Senior High School is extolling itself as 'excellence across the river'. It is truly showing those signs. The teaching staff has more Ph.D.'s than my college did, and the quality of instruction is rising with the staff. The new principal is energetic and enthusiastic. I think they are turning the corner and will be soon recognized as one of the better DC High Schools.
