For the past two years, the local program was a part of the National Football Foundation's Play It Smart, a highly successful youth development program designed to improve academic achievement, citizenship and life-skills development among student-athletes from urban environments throughout the country. Lynchburg's program was uniquely funded through a combination of support from the National Football Foundation, local donors, and the school division's operating budget.

While local support for the program never waivered, state-level funding reductions for K-12 education and the scheduled end of the National Football Foundation's support for the program necessitated changes in the delivery of services to students. Next year, a single academic athletic coach, Maggie Davis, has been selected through an interview process to assist athletes from both high schools.

The goals of the program will focus on academic achievement and service to the community. While football players are the athletes given first priority Ms. Davis will work with athletes from other sports as well, as requested. Specifically, by their senior year athletes will be on schedule to graduate on time, will have completed the SAT or ACT at least one time, and will have applied to at least one institution of higher education. Additionally, student-athletes will be given opportunities to participate in various community service projects. In its first two years, the program has made a positive difference in student-athletes' lives as students' grade point averages have risen and a higher percentage of graduates have been accepted to post-secondary programs.

For the second consecutive year, the student athletes will benefit from the funding support of the Greater Lynchburg Community Trust. Grant funding will provide opportunities for student-athletes to visit college campuses, complete the SAT and ACT tests, and complete college applications. Funding will also help cover the operating expenses of the program.

The student-athletes at the city's two public high schools thank and recognize the Greater Lynchburg Community Trust for its support. If members of the community are interested in helping support the program and its ideals, please contact Maggie Davis through either E. C. Glass High School (522-3712) or Heritage High School (582-1147).

Both E.C. Glass High School and Heritage High School are two of “America’s Best High Schools” for 2010, according to Newsweek magazine, although, right now, through a mistake by the magazine, only one is listed in the online rankings. E.C. Glass is listed at 735 in the magazine’s ranking but, because of its miscalculations, Newsweek did not place Heritage High School on the list. Lynchburg City School administrators were told by Newsweek contributing editor, Jay Mathews, that the omission was a mistake. In an email to LCS this morning Mr. Mathews wrote:

“You gave me the information in plenty of time, and I transmitted it to New York. But in the rush of preparing the entire list I failed to personally check the planned Web site version to make sure your information had been recorded there. Please accept my apologies… We will place Heritage on the list, with an index rating of 1.745, a subsidized lunch percentage of 51 and an equity and excellence percentage of 20.1 when we do our regular update of the list in a month. I am sorry you have to wait so long, but this is the way we make sure that the list that is up the rest of the year is fully accurate, and includes smaller schools that we had missed in our search for more qualifiers, but who identified themselves to us when they saw the new list.”

According to calculations by Heritage High School Principal Dr. Mark Miear, the school’s ranking on Newsweek’s list should be close to 860. That ranking would be a notable and significant accomplishment when compared to last year’s ranking of 1453. The Heritage High School staff worked diligently all year in an effort to boost in their ranking.

In general, the rankings are based on the number of Advanced Placement courses and exams that students participate in and the number of advanced diplomas that students earn each year.
