"High School Teacher" Personal Page by hunterV

Yes, it’s about me.
I have worked as an English teacher since 1985 at different schools of Luhansk, Ukraine.
Luhansk regional medico-biological lyceum is the full name of my present high school where I have worked for more than fifteen years.
Some people prefer to call it a lycee.

A rare group picture of our high school

And now perhaps some facts about our high school.
The lyceum (some people prefer to say "lycee") is located on the southern outskirts of Luhansk on the campus of Luhansk State Medical University in the area known as Medical Compound.
Our high school is on the third floor of Block No.1 of Luhansk State Medical University.
The lyceum students come from different towns and villages of Luhansk region.
They passed successfully two written entrance exams for entering the lyceum: in biology and in chemistry.

My best students! ~

At present there are six grades with the total number of students is 160.
The main task of the lyceum is to give the students necessary knowledge and practical skills for entering the medical university.
Many students stay at the university students’ dormitory where they occupy two blocks on the ninth floor.

My outstanding students! ~~~

The lyceum has eight classrooms: Ukrainian, English, chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, history, and computer science.
The main subjects are biology and chemistry. The students have four lessons of each of these subjects a week.
Besides, they have optional courses in biology and chemistry.
Every day the students have seven or eight lessons.
Unlike all other secondary schools of the city, we have university lecturers who come to us and teach several subjects at the lyceum.

Our lyceum leavers: Class of 1999

The school year is divided into four quarters.
There are ten-day vacations after each quarter and long summer vacations at the end of the school year.
The lyceum students have autumn, winter, spring and summer vacations like all other secondary school students.

I am attending a professional development seminar

Each grade has a grade teacher and a grade educator. The grade teacher is responsible for studies and the grade educator works with students mostly in the dormitory from 3 p.m. until 9 p.m.
There are ninth-formers, tenth-formers and eleventh-formers.

The lyceum students have their PE lessons at the University Palace of Sports (leisure center) where they can also attend different sports sections.
The students have their meals at the university canteen three times a day.

The Lyceum entrance plaque

The lyceum students have their English lessons two times a week.
The students take part in the work of the Lyceum English Club, in the city Olympiads and in the work of the Students' Republican Academy of Sciences where they write and defend their papers in ecology, history, biology and psychology.

The emblem of Luhansk Medical University

The lyceum students have a one-year practice at a city hospital.
At the end of their practice there they take a test and receive a certificate of a junior medical worker.

After the lyceum the students take their entrance exams to the medical university or to any other university.
Every year a lot of lyceum leavers become university students and continue their studies to be doctors.
Success attend you, my students!
