F’’ Source: WSSU Department of Police and Public Safety ' Compiled by Jordan Howse, Editor in Chief Charmaine Shuford "We had to follow the char acter development program, which consists of family semi nars and discovery groups," Shuford said. "We'd meet with other stu dents and teachers and have to help develop our structure." Unlike traditional schools, Hyde focuses on community and family ties, as well as evolving their students into leaders. This, Shuford said, is what set the difference between Hyde and other pub lic school contemporaries. Hyde's approach to teaching has not only been effective, as seen through Shuford, but it has risen to national success. Hyde was a U.S. News and World Report bronze medal ist for America's best high schools in 2010. The school's ground breaking program was even showcased on a segment of ABC's primetime news pro gram "20/20" last year. Hyde also incorporates self-discovery into their cur riculum, a process Shuford said helped her find her life's passion. "[Hyde] allowed you to go through different experiences and take these tests to find out who you are. I discovered I had a passion for helping people," Shuford said. Shuford's high school alma mater has founded its phi losophy upon five words; "Courage, Concern, Curiosity, Integrity and Leadership. These words became the stu dents' mantra, Shuford said. "It was something we had to follow." It was those words, along with the motto and the family like atmosphere of WSSU that brought Shuford to this cam pus. "I came to WSSU on a tour, and the atmosphere was very friendly and that's the same thing that we had at Hyde. It was perfect," Shuford said. The University's motto 'Enter to learn, depart to serve' is synonymous with the five principles of Hyde. It is a philosophy that concentrates on the quality of its students, not solely numbers. Shuford's transition from high school to the college level was made easier due to the similar fun damentals of both institutions. Shuford is a shining exam ple of some of Winston-Salem State's brightest students. WSSU accepts and produces students that are willing to be molded into leaders. "Historically, Winston- Salem State has attracted highly talented students, academically, athletically, and artistically," said Marilyn Roseboro, an associate profes sor of Mass Communications. "We try to make sure the environment here is such that students feel that this is the place that is designed for their success." This approach to nurturing leaders continues to bring in some of the best transfers and freshmen classes in the region to Winston-Salem State. "There was no other place for me," Shuford said.
