On Jan. 13, we had a very special visitor named Dr. Childs. A fun fact about her is that she graduated Conwell in 1975! 

“You guys are wonderful,” Dr. Childs said. “I’m very excited to come back and see everyone grow from the last time I came.”

She is 65 years young, and she is currently a professor at a nearby university.  

“I came to Conwell because when I come I never get disappointed from all of the new wonderful faces.” 

While she walked the halls of Conwell Middle Magnet School, she recalled the legacy she left here so many years ago.

“I was one of the students who made the year books,” Dr. Childs said.  

The new Conwell Student Council officers hosted Dr. Childs around the school. 

“I love how you guys change up the place from the last time I came here,” Dr. Childs said.
