“Dear Mr. Pouncy,
As a parent of two students at Newman Smith High School I would like to extend my congratulations and thanks for a job well done to you and the entire school staff for making NSHS one of America’s top high schools in the U.S. News & World Report rankings. In addition, having NSHS named to the Washington Post’s list of “America’s Most Challenging High Schools” just further shows the outstanding job your staff and students are doing under your leadership.
With my deep thanks,
Jeffrey Stephens”
