Feelin’  Like  a “Room  Without  a  Roof”

It was a year of snow day after snow day. It was a year of AP students needing to be in two places at one time. It was a year of inconsistency and a fear that students were not prepared to take such a high-stakes test as the National College Board Exam for English Literature. It ended up being a year where students from this small town of Gobles beat the odds; as a matter of fact, they beat the National odds. This past May, 20 of our students took the A.P. (Advanced Placement) English Literature College Board exam, and 15 of them scored high enough to receive college credit. Nationally, 55% of the students taking the AP English Literature exam scored a 3 or better (on a 5-point scale). At Gobles, 15 out of our 20 students scored a 3 or better on this very difficult test. That’s a success rate of 75%--well above the National average. “When I saw the scores, I literally jumped up and down and let out a loud hooray that the whole town could have heard. I was ecstatic that our students did so well on this test. The results told the students that they are capable of ranking with the best that this Nation has to offer,” stated Pam Westcott, AP English Literature teacher. The song “Happy,” with its suggestion of feeling so good that it’s like a “…room without a roof” is very appropriate here. With these type of results, we can be proud that we are an academically-sound school that has much to offer its students so they may be successful in any endeavor they choose.

On another positive note, the class of 2013-14 was the class that took the total number of Gobles students having scored well enough to receive college credit to over 100. We first offered AP English in 1993, and since then Gobles has also offered such AP courses as AP Biology, AP Calculus, and AP History, one of the few schools our size to do so.

The Gobles community should be proud of these students and their commitment to academics: Cheyenne Allyn-White, Russell Aspinwall, Alexis Boes, Alyssa Ellis, Jessie Goodrich, Tucker Harbaugh, Sharyena Hunt, Kaden Kerns, Caitlyn Kropp, Keegan Roder, Tamera Rutherford, Michaela Scholte, Shannon South, Rachel Waldron, and Amber Wallace.

Great job, everyone!! Be HAPPY!!
