CRAB CLAUSE
A coopera ve effort of Seabreeze High School and the SHS PTSA
Seabreeze Sandcrabs are held to high ethical standards in our pursuit of academic achievement. As a student of Seabreeze
High School, I understand that academic dishonesty defeats the purpose of educa on. Chea ng, plagiarism, stealing,
and lying are neither acceptable nor tolerated. Every task and accomplishment will be a true reflec on of my effort.

Gree ngs Sandcrabs
This school year has progressed at a rapid pace and as we start the last grading
period it is essen al to stay academically focused. It is an important me of year
with standardized tes ng, end of course exams , Advanced Placement tes ng
and the myriad of other requirements that are placed upon our students. We –
parents, teachers and administrators - need to provide encouragement, direc on
and support for our students as they start their journey into the ‘tes ng season’.
And I’m sure this me of year brings much excitement and some anxiety to our
fantas c senior class as well. The weeks a er spring break are filled with senior
ac vi es as we prepare for their big day in the Ocean Center on May 31st! All
families should have received a bulle n outlining important senior events (Prom, Grad Bash, Senior
Awards, Honors Banquet, Baccalaureate,) with dates and mes. This calendar, prepared by Ac vi es
Director Tonia Morgan, is an i nerary of all senior ac vi es scheduled to take place as we approach
gradua on. The senior calendar of events is also posted on the website or can be obtained in the main
and ac vi es offices.
On a personal note, I want to offer my sincerest apprecia on to all the members of the Seabreeze Family
for making my tenure as the principal of this wonderful school a memorable one. The past thirteen
years serving as your educa onal leader has been the highlight of my professional career. There is no
be er collec on of outstanding students, dedicated educators and suppor ve parents as you will find
at Seabreeze High School. You have enriched my life.
Once a Sandcrab – always a Sandcrab!
Sincerely,
Bob Wallace

Seabreeze High School PTSA/Senior Celebration: CLASS OF 2015
SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION
There are literally millions of scholarships and essay contests
available to help college students pay for college and almost as
many ways to try and find them. Internet searches, private search
companies, college financial aid offices and parent’s employer’s
are just a few of the ways that a student can access these millions
of scholarship sources. The Seabreeze High School Scholarship
Notebook is also one of the ways that our students can search for
money for college. Throughout the year here in the Student Services
office we keep a notebook filled with all of the scholarship and essay
contest applica ons that are sent to us or made available to us here
at Seabreeze. They include both local and na onal level scholarships.
This data base is not intended to be all inclusive but is designed to
make available the scholarships that our students typically have
a chance to earn. This list will include many local ones which may
not show up on the data bases of the na onal scholarship search
engines. Most scholarships have specific criteria as to who can apply
and the local ones are no different. There are some scholarships
and essay contests that only Seabreeze students can apply for,
others that are only for Ormond Beach or Daytona area students
while others may be only for students from Volusia County. Many
other scholarships may be available to any student in the country
that meets par cular criteria. All else being equal, obviously the
smaller the numbers of students who can apply for a par cular
scholarship, the be er the odds of winning that scholarship become.
While the applica on process can be difficult and me consuming,
just comple ng the applica on doesn’t mean that the student will
receive it. A student may apply for 20 scholarships and not receive
any - just applying doesn’t guarantee anything. There is only one
guarantee in the scholarship process – if you don’t apply for it you
will not get it. Seabreeze Scholarship Notebook Procedures
1) The notebook is in Student Services, and has the original
applica ons in it in the order that we receive them. This notebook
is not to be removed from the office. Students my access it any day
during lunch or break. Parents may make an appointment to access
it during the day.
2) As you review the informa on and find an applica on you would
like a copy of, fill out the scholarship request form and list the
number of the scholarship on the form. A copy will be made of
the applica on and then will be delivered to you.
3) Be aware of deadlines! This is the real world – late applica ons
will not be accepted. You are responsible for knowing the deadlines
and mee ng them.
4) Check the notebook regularly – new applica ons will be added as
they come in – typically we add new ones weekly throughout year.
5) If you have ques ons about any of the applica onshow to fill
them out, where to turn them in, what the expecta ons are,
deadlines, a achments, etc., etc., make sure you ask Mr. Aus n, Mr.
Richardson, or the Guidance Secretary – we are here to help.
Scholarship informa on is available
in the Guidance Office – Contact

I Won't Hire People Who Use
by Kyle Wiens | 8:02 AM July 20, 2012
Poor
Grammar. Here's Why.
Harvard Business Review
If you think an apostrophe was one of the 12 disciples of Jesus, you will never work for me. If you think a
semicolon is a regular colon with an iden ty crisis, I will not hire you. If you sca er commas into a sentence with
all the discrimina on of a shotgun, you might make it to the foyer before we politely escort you from the building.
Some might call my approach to grammar extreme, but I prefer Lynne Truss's more cuddly
phraseology: I am a grammar "s ckler." And, like Truss — author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves
— I have a "zero tolerance approach" to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.
Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have "zero tolerance." She thinks that people who mix up their
itses "deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave," while I
just think they deserve to be passed over for a job — even if they are otherwise qualified for the posi on.
Everyone who applies for a posi on at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a mandatory
grammar test. Extenua ng circumstances aside (dyslexia, English language learners, etc.),
if job hopefuls can't dis nguish between "to" and "too," their applica ons go into the bin.
Of course, we write for a living. iFixit.com is the world's largest online repair manual, and Dozuki helps
companies write their own technical documenta on, like paperless work instruc ons and step-by-step user
manuals. So, it makes sense that we've made a preemp ve strike against groan-worthy grammar errors.
But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn't make grammar
unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the internet. In blog posts, on Facebook statuses, in
e-mails, and on company websites, your words are all you have. They are a projec on of you in your physical
absence. And, for be er or worse, people judge you if you can't tell the difference between their, there, and they're.
Good grammar makes good business sense — and not just when it comes to hiring writers.
Wri ng isn't in the official job descrip on of most people in our office. S ll, we give our grammar
test to everybody, including our salespeople, our opera ons staff, and our programmers.
On the face of it, my zero tolerance approach to grammar errors might seem a li le unfair.
A er all, grammar has nothing to do with job performance, or crea vity, or intelligence, right?
Wrong. If it takes someone more than 20 years to no ce how to properly use "it's," then that's not a learning curve
I'm comfortable with. So, even in this hyper-compe ve market, I will pass on a great programmer who cannot write.
Grammar signifies more than just a person's ability to remember high school English. I've found
that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they
are doing something completely unrelated to wri ng — like stocking shelves or labeling parts.
In the same vein, programmers who pay a en on to how they construct wri en language also tend to pay a lot more
a en on to how they code. You see, at its core, code is prose. Great programmers are more than just code monkeys;
according to Stanford programming legend Donald Knuth they are "essayists who work with tradi onal aesthe c and
literary forms." The point: programming should be easily understood by real human beings — not just computers.
And just like good wri ng and good grammar, when it comes to programming, the
devil's in the details. In fact, when it comes to my whole business, details are everything.
I hire people who care about those details. Applicants who don't think wri ng is important are likely to think
lots of other (important) things also aren't important. And I guarantee that even if other companies aren't
issuing grammar tests, they pay a en on to sloppy mistakes on résumés. A er all, sloppy is as sloppy does.
That's why I grammar test people who walk in the door looking for a job. Grammar is my
litmus test. All applicants say they're detail-oriented; I just make my employees prove it.
