Lets “Get Schooled”

Dez Moore, Editor-in-Chief • January 17, 2013

Want to have a celebrity principal on campus for a day such as Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, or Pharell Williams? Get Schooled is a non-profit organization who has partnered up with MTV and CollegeBoard to get students motivated in showing up to school, graduating, and continuing their education through college.

As students sign up on https://getschooled.com/ they can start earning points for doing different educational activities on the website. With those points you start earning “swag” and you can get the school closer to having a celebrity come to the campus and be the principal for the day.

Help Akins get their celebrity principal for a day and sign up at https://getschooled.com/ and help spread the word encouraging students to attend school and continue on to a greater education.

About the Contributor

Dez Moore, Editor-in-Chief

I’m Dez Moore. I am currently a senior and this is my second year on the Eagle’s Eye staff. This year I was chosen to be the Editor-in-Chief. I’m really excited for what awaits our paper this year. This is a really thrilling year for our paper and I have high aspirations for the Eagle’s Eye paper. Now more about myself, I was born to discuss sports. I love writing and talking sports with anyone who provides a decent discussion or argument. I’m a HUGMONGUS Redskins Fan. I spend most of my time at school (the newspaper room) or at the gym training Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and boxing. When I’m at home I am usually watching ESPN and tweeting. (@DezWeNeedMoore) I think I have told you enough about me. Check out the site and the rest of the editors and great staff we have here at the Eagle’s Eye.
