Welcome Professor Mikita Thompson

On behalf of the entire TCS community, we welcome Professor Mikita Thompson. She is teaching a college level computer science course through the University of Baltimore at our school twice a week. This enables our students to pick up some useful skills and knowledge while adding to their college credits in our dual enrollment program.

Professor Thompson brings her experience in computer science and cyber forensics as well as the application of these skills with her background in business and entrepreneurship.

Our thanks to John Brenner and Philippia Richardson from the Early College Initiatives program at the University of Baltimore for once again providing a professor on site to teach our students.

Conversation with Mike Gallo

Mike Gallo came back to the school for another “Conversation with” the students. Mike spoke about his life growing up in Chicago, troubles on the street and in school to becoming a national executive of the Minolta Corporation. He shared the many lessons he learned along the way including his strong beliefs in respecting every person and in hard work and dedication in every task a person takes on. The students always enjoy when Mike comes around the school and shares his stories.

Investing: Why and How!

We had a special seminar on investing in our monthly Financial Literacy series today. The students learned that putting just a dollar a day away, investing in the stock market and letting the earnings and deposits remain invested will yield big results over time. In 40 years, a $30/month investment will yield about $160,000 with an investment of $14,000 total in that time.

This series is sponsored and staffed by Berman McAleer under the guidance of Kathleen Gower. Today’s presenters were Brian Carroll, Adam Murray and Adaiha Montgomery. They guided the students through a number of exercises to understand the value and mechanics of the investing process. The students interest was evidenced by their active engagement and many thoughtful questions.

Thank you Adaiha, Adam, Brian and Kathleen and all the folks at Berman McAleer for the lunch and the seminar!
