On behalf of Melody High School, I bid you welcome to the Melody High School!
You are a unique and talented mix of students who have come to us from every corner of the globe:
We are thrilled you are all here.
In the coming days and weeks, you will start building lifelong friendships; you will begin classes and you will start to explore ways to fill out your days and evenings - the less tangible part of your education here - the student experience.
Aside from the outstanding education you will receive at Melody's, I can tell you from personal experience that for Melody's graduates, it is overwhelmingly the student experience that stays with us the longest.
Having returned to Melody's this summer, and being only a few days into my term as Principal, I envy you and where you are in your lives; I think back very fondly to my first days as an undergraduate here over 30 years ago when, like many of you, I arrived with a new world of possibilities, friendships, educational experiences and extra-curricular opportunities lying in front of me.
There are literally hundreds of groups on campus, and endless opportunities to serve the community in whatever facet of society that interests or compels you.
Thousands of Melody's students commit time, energy and talent across the City every year, and this engagement and volunteerism has always set us apart.
As many of you know already, it's immensely gratifying to help and support a fellow human being and make their lives better.
We have a proud tradition of our students working and volunteering in and around the city and then moving on with great professional and personal success in serving their communities and country for the betterment of our society - you have this potential too.
I also urge you to be respectful of the community in which you now live -- to personify the High School's vision as an inclusive and positive environment that celebrates equality and diversity.
Freedom of speech and thought, and the processes of analysis and criticism are at the heart of this and every good High School.
Ideas are born and are challenged; some survive and grow; others die.
Discussion, discourse and debate are central to learning - and these conversations happen not only in class, but in coffee houses, residence dining halls, on lawns, you name it.
In that spirit, I am going to ask you to do two things this year that may take you outside your comfort level.
The first is to experiment with your courses; do stretch yourself and take something that is unfamiliar or challenging-who knows what new doorways this will open for you, or what new way of seeing the world.
The second is on a personal level: by the end of the year, I would like each one of you here to be able to say that you have gotten to know someone who is very different from you, perhaps by religion, ethnicity or background, and who may even hold diametrically opposed views to yours on issues of importance.
You will find this both an enriching experience, and good practice for keeping an open mind, for defending your own beliefs and customs through reasoned argument while being respectful of the beliefs and practices of others.
I also want to remind you that you have responsibilities both to the Melody's Community and the citizens of our beloved town.
Some residents who live near campus have, at times, been subjected to excessive noise and destructive behavior by a small minority of students.
Unfortunately, the rowdy and inappropriate behavior of a few can affect the reputation of the High School, locally and beyond, and potentially tarnish the value of your degree.
I urge you to make safe and responsible decisions about what you do and where you go every day and every night out.
I personally expect that you will honor the Student Code of Conduct and respect the rights and values of our town neighbors.
Finally, I know life is busy and there is a lot of work to be done, people to see and places to be, but remember to take time for yourself and take care of yourself.
There are many supports and services available if you ever need them.
We want you to thrive and succeed here, academically, socially and personally.
It is a great pleasure as Principal to welcome you all to the beginning of your lifelong association with Melody's High School and I hope to meet many of you in this first year of your journey.
You will certainly see me walking around campus and dropping in to unexpected places like the residence dining halls.
I am also planning to swim and use the new Melody's Center, our stunning athletic, recreation and student life complex that's opening soon. It will be a stellar addition to your student experience.
When you see me, please come up and speak with me, or sit down and join me. I certainly look forward to talking with you.
I want to thank you for choosing Melody's. We are happy and privileged you are here.
I wish you all the best for an exciting and rewarding, challenging and stimulating four years on this campus, which will be the start of what I hope will be a lifelong experience as members of the Melody's family.
