A nearly 80 year old who still races as an accomplished professional race driver at Daytona was our guest for our “Conversation with…” this week. Ted Giovanis who grew up just blocks from the school is this man, but so much more. He is an author, military veteran, philanthropist, medical researcher and a visionary thinker who has spent much of his life focusing on health policy both in Maryland and nationally. A current project is his sponsorship of the Giovanis Institute for Translational Cell Biology at Johns Hopkins, an interdisciplinary, unique approach to diagnosing and treating cancer.
He shared his life journey with the students with many pearls of wisdom learned along the way including those in his book – Focus Forward: Life Lessons from Racing.
Mr. Giovanis is a former classmate and colleague with our own volunteer staff member Ken Bancroft who arranged the visit.
It was a fascinating and unique conversation and we appreciate his generous sharing of time.

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.

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.

This week’s edition of TCS Student News was researched, written, produced and anchored by Rhys Guilfoyle and Sam Meenan with technical production by Mohamed Cisse

A special shout out to Alumni and Board of Trustee members Dave Bayer and Donald Lacy for coming to the rescue. They were at the school yesterday afternoon and noticed a problem with a slippery and potentially dangerous situation with ice in the passageway between our buildings. Putting their minds together and working with old shelving and other materials around the school, they built a ramp that covers the area and lets the water pass under it. They built this ramp today and it works great!
We are so fortunate to have such “can do” people as part of our school community who see a problem and don’t wait for someone else. but step up to the plate and take it on.
Thank you Dave and Donald for fixing this problem and for being such great examples!
