The First Blog Post!

Thank you for reading the first post of the new Red Lion Area Junior High School Blog! 

My name is Brian Raab, and I am excited to be the new assistant principal at the Red Lion Area Junior High School!  The 2013-2014 school year will be my 17th year in education.  I started my career as a social studies teacher at Robert Smalls Middle School in the Beaufort County School District in South Carolina.  The next phase in my career was as a school counselor and department chair at Lansdowne Middle School in the Baltimore County Public School System in Maryland.  After my tenure as a school counselor, I had the opportunity to be an assistant principal at Towson High School, also in the Baltimore County Public School System.  This school year will be my 5th year in the Red Lion Area School District--I spent the first 4 years as an assistant principal at the Red Lion Area Senior High School and this is my first year as the assistant principal at the Red Lion Area Junior High School!

  
As you read this first blog post, some of you might be asking yourself, “What is a blog?”  A blog, simply stated, is a web site that focuses on a particular topic and that is frequently updated.  The Red Lion Area Junior High School Blog will be an additional form of communication used to share pertinent information with the Red Lion Area Junior High School community.  If you come back and visit this blog (which we hope you do!), some of the things you can look forward to reading about are: what our students are doing both in the classroom and in extracurricular activities, what are teachers are planning for their classrooms and information about school wide events!
