Congratulations to Mr. Safranski

Lakeview Jr High is proud to announce that Eighth grade social studies instructor, Mark Safranski, was made a New Member of the US Army War College's National Security Seminar. The National Security Seminar is the annual capstone event of the US Army War College graduate program that prepares the future senior leaders of the US Army, as well as select officials from the State Department, the intelligence community and foreign governments. Mr. Safranski was nominated to become a New Member by Dr. Steven Metz, Chairman of the Regional Strategy Department of the Strategic Studies Institute, the US Army's official think tank.

In June, Safranski, along with other civilian New Members from a broad range of professional backgrounds, will attend a week long seminar at the US Army War College in Pennsylvania devoted to problems of national security, defense policy and the conflict in Afghanistan. Mr. Safranski has edited or was a contributing author to a number of articles and two books in the fields of strategic studies and national security and has taught social studies at Lakeview Jr. High School since 1994.
