By Tom NiczaySuperintendentHamtramck Public SchoolsIt keeps getting better all
the time. The Hamtramck Board of
Education is very proud topresent the 133rd graduatingclass of Hamtramck HighSchool and the 4th graduat-ing class of Horizon Alterna-tive Education. Last year’s graduating class
was offered $1.8 million incollege scholarship money.The class of 2013 has beenoffered $2.4 million in schol-arship money. Many of thegraduates started in Ham-tramck Public Schools, stayedin Hamtramck Public Schools,and succeeded in HamtramckPublic Schools. “The Mackinac Center for
Public Policy” ranked Ham-tramck High 120th out of over500 Michigan High Schoolsgiving it grade of “B”, while“The Center for Michigan”ranked the entire HamtramckPublic School District 200thout of again over 500 school
districts. Please keep in mind Ham-
tramck has the highestpoverty level in Wayne County.Many students come throughthe doors of HPS with chal-lenges, yet not only do theysurvive, they thrive. Theythrive because of caring fam-ilies, a caring K-12 publicschool system, and a caringcommunity. We accept every Ham-
tramck resident and ourskilled teachers and adminis-trators have increasing aca-demic growth has a focalpoint in their individual schoolimprovement plans.Hamtramck Public Schools
has a diverse populationwhich is uniquely American.Diversity is something to cel-ebrate. Being in a diverse en-vironment provides anopportunity to learn fromsomeone who most likely hasa different perspective basedon their life experiences. That’s a powerful learning
environment. Hamtramck High School
continues its partnership withthe “General Motors Schoolsof Excellence” grant. The GMgrant has brought HHS the“Institute for Research andReform in Education” TheIRRE has been using its na-tional reform model whichhas a proven track record, towork with staff on the follow-ing strategies; creating smalllearning communities, effec-tive use of data, family andstudent advocacy, instruc-tional improvement, and lead-ership development.
During this school year theHHS robotics team finished36th out of 200 teams in thein final state rankings. Pleaseview the Team Cosmos robot-ics video on our web page atwww.hamtramck.k12.mi.us
During the 2012-2013school year the newly createdKosciuszko campus, which in-cludes Dickinson West Ele-mentary and KosciuszkoMiddle School have become apopular choice for familiesseeking successful schools.
HHS Class of 2013 holdgraduationceremonyBy Charles SercombeIt’s been quite a while
since Hamtramck HighSchool produced this manygraduates.Some 173 seniors at-
tended graduation cere-mony last Friday. The Classof 2013 chose a quotefrom Dr. Seuss to sum uptheir school experience:“How did it get so late sosoon?”That dovetailed nicely
with the message fromKeynote Speaker, StateRepresentative JohnOlumba, who used theLatin phrase “Carpe Diem”to inspire the class.Translation: “Seize the
day.”“When you get an oppor-
tunity to get a victory, do itthen,” Olumba said.District Superintendent
Tom Niczay also remindedthe students that althoughgraduating from highschool is a milestone in

By Charles SercombeThe city council met on
May 28, and all coun-cilmembers were in atten-dance.From the public, Susan
Dunn said the councilshould fire the city managerand his assistant to savemoney.“If you’re going to start
cutting things, I’d rather seemore police officers,” shesaid.In a review of city bills,
Councilmember Cathie Gor-don questioned a $30charge for coffee. It was ex-plained that the coffee wassupplied for a meeting withcity merchants.Councilmember Robert
Zwolak attempted for a sec-ond time to have the posi-tion of city manager posted.Councilmember Gordon
questioned who would be in-terested in applying sincethe city will likely be underthe control of a state-ap-pointed emergency man-ager in the coming weeks.Councilmember Tom
Jankowski said posting thejob depends on whether Act-ing City Manager KyleTertzag plans on leavingwhen his contract is up onJuly 15.Tertzag said he would like
to “stay on and be a part ofthe solution.”Councilmember Zwolak
proposed a council reviewof Tertzag, but questioned
how long it will take.Councilmember Gordon
said a review of Tertzag isan “exercise in futility”since an emergency man-ager will soon take controlof the city.“What’s the point here?”
she said.Mayor Karen Majewski
pointed out that the coun-cil’s previous two searchesfor a city manager resultedin the council rejecting allthe candidates.Majewski advised holding
off on a search.In the vote to post the job,
only Councilmember Zwolakvoted in favor.The council was unani-
mous in bringing on a sec-ond K-9 dog for the PoliceDepartment.In another police-related
matter, the council agreedto allow the department tojoin Macomb County’s anti-terrorist unit. Police ChiefMax Garbarino said joiningthe unit will allow the de-partment to apply for moregrants.Acting City Manager
Tertzag said the alliance willalso act like a mutual aidpackage.

Syed Nadim, vale-
dictorian for the class of
2013, achieved a GPA of
4.002. Nadim is ambitious
and takes advantage of eve-
ry opportunity. Despite the
fact that he won class
sleepy for the mock elec-
tions, he's wide-awake
when it's time for class dis-
cussions and tests.
He took many
challenging courses during
his four years at HHS, in-
cluding AP physics B, AP
physics C, and AP literature
and composition.
Nadim is involved
in Student Council, National
Honor Society, Student Ac-
tion Team, DECA, and
FIRST. His passion for ro-
botics allowed him to be-
come Vice President of me-
chanics and lead program-
mer. Nadim is also a youth
wellness ambassador where
he encourages youth to be-
����������� ��������������� ��������������� ��������������� ��������come more active. Outside of
school, he is the secretary of
MUNA.
He believes motiva-
tion from friends and family
led to his success. When
asked about his thoughts on
high school, Syed Nadim re-
plied, "I feel like I'm going to
miss high school. It was a
great four years. I was able to
grow a lot as a person and
make some lifelong friends."
He currently plans to study at
University of Michigan-Ann
Arbor in the field of medi-
cine.

Laughter, excitement, and happiness filled the Hamtramck High School audi-
torium as the graduating seniors received their National Honor Society stoles. As the
National Honor Society advisor, Ms. Georgieska, called the names of the seniors and
Principal Westrate put the stoles around their necks, it felt like all the hard work paid
off. The spot light was shining on the senior’s faces, the principal and staff were all
smiling, and the crowd was full of proud faces. Senior Thanjila Uddin said, “The can-
dle light ceremony made everything seem a whole lot more elegant.” Starting off the
year with a new NHS advisor was a little difficult but National Honor Society members
managed to work together and fight through every obstacle. Senior Ahamima Akther
said, “NHS taught me how to be involved in my community.”
������ �����
The delightful looks on peoples’ faces filled the room as proud staff wel-
comed the parents and guests. Students sat together as a rush of excitement ran
through their body. 2.4 million dollars worth of scholarships were offered to the
class of 2013! The HUSS scholarship, Volunteering scholarship, Rotary Club schol-
arship, and Varsity Athletic scholarship were given as a surprise to students. Stu-
dents had a stunned, blissful look on their faces as they were called to receive their
scholarships. Finally at the end of the ceremony, students got together smiling,
laughing, and overjoyed taking pictures with one another. Omar Algehaim said,
"Winning the Athletic Scholarship was the last thing I expected." Hani Nasher said,
"Man, it was surreal! It was a feeling that you don’t really know how to explain.
Congrats to the other winners, go Cosmos."

Kevin Ashford, the man behind the class of 2013 since the very beginning, has enjoyed his time with this dynamic class. Together with the officers, he has put on successful fundraisers such as the carwashes, the bake sales, and a successful home-coming dance; but not many people know him outside of school.
Mr. Ashford attended Wayne State University; he majored in psychology and minored in business administration. But after his sister passed away, Mr. Ashford had taken on the responsibility of his niece and nephew, so he had to go back to school and he pursued the field of education for a flexible schedule. Mr. Ashford now lives with his nephew, great-nephew, and a dog named Lucy; and he also owns a beautiful, red Mustang. He enjoys his life with his family as well as his students.
The class of 2013 has come and gone but, wouldn’t be anywhere without him they’ve grown and learned together, and will forever have an impact on each other. He wishes the class the best of luck and success.

Behind every mask lies a princess, eagerly waiting for what they would later come to realize was one of the best nights of their lives.
HHS had its second all girls prom; April 20th at the Gates of Columbus. Over 100 girls and their guests attended and definitely left with amazing memories. What was thought to be another successful dance, turned out to be a spectacular ball! The masquerade theme really made these girls feel like princesses. Also treated like royalty by receiving goodie bags at the end of the night, filled with cosmetics.
Everyone danced, and danced, and danced till the clock struck 11. Aside from the cool music that was being played, there was plenty of food from chicken and rice, to the kabobs, spinach pies and rolls, and the unlimited hummus! Party doesn’t stop there! Also the professional photographer and henna artist made the night even more memorable.
Of course Noha Al-Shauweyh, Shymeshia Williams, Amina Bilic, Farjana Begum, Precious France, Monika Tipuric, and Dola Malik are to thank for all their hard work and dedication that was put into this project. Also big thanks to Mrs. Delekta, Ms. Reith, Mrs. Kurtovic, Mrs. Bilbesi, Ms. Kroon, Ms. Parker, Mrs. Gjorgjevska, Mrs. Lala, Mrs. Youmans, Mrs. Greib for the helping hand and their efforts. A very big thanks to the princess prom encourag-ing advisor Mrs. Pabst for guidance. The night couldn’t possibly end without crowning some girls to royalty. All girls were allowed to run for prom court! The winners were, Soha Al-Shauweyh, crowned Freshmen Duchess. Ayesha Begum, crowned Sophomore Dutchess. Jawaria Sarfraz, crowned Junior Princess. Monika Tipuric crowned Senior Princess. And Noha Alshawey crowned as the Senior Queen. The creators of the princess project last year hoped that their creation would become a tradition in Hamtramck High School, well their wish came true! Another successful all girl’s prom. And the creators of this year’s princess project only hope for next year’s one to be just as astounding.

By Hadwan2
As we approach the end of senior year, feeling that everything is amiss,
let us engage in a train of thought, get you to reminisce.
Four years back, we walked through the high school doors, discomposed,
walking back on forth through the hallway, where our classes were, we didn't know.
We didn't know.....,
We didn't know how we would fit a backpack in the locker,
how we would "fit in" the school,
how to make the right first impression.
School wasn’t what we expected,
But, we were given the wrong impression, watching the seniors have fun and savor their final year.
We mistakenly tried to follow their lead and have fun.
Forgetting we had three more years of hard work that needed to be done......
Three more years...
Sophomore year was definitely the year of change;
from the new principal, Ms. Westrate, to the clothing that represents us.
We indeed didn't agree with it all but, weren't scared of something different....
Our bond as a class grew even stronger, as the years progressed, building great things like the class float.
But, most importantly, we kept our class close, because what's a class without friends?
Like wearing glasses without a lens; we would be blind to what's ahead, junior year.....
Junior year...
Time to get to work, all funny business set aside.
We had to hit the books, study, unlock the potential inside.
But, not for a brief moment; we had to learn how to cherish it and hold it.
Take the ACT with confidence, and set the foundation for our future.
Not giving up after the first test score, because we were told it couldn't hurt you.
So much work had been done, it seemed Junior year had gone to waste.
But after high school, it would be knowledge that would comfort us in a new place, college.
Before we think of that let us get back to senior year!!
Senior year...
Half way into it now, it seems we haven't aged.
In the great words of Two Chainz, we’ll take two minutes to “look back at it."
Then you will see just how much we have matured and the "class acts" we have come to be.
Like fine wine or cheese, we’ve matured.
Becoming greater with age, making things happen, and being reliable are now what define us as adults.
��������
���������������������������������
We choreographed a pep rally, the likes of which no underclassmen had ever seen.
Full of originality and fun, it's HARD not to love our class.
But, before we leave, and notice that the years have indeed come to pass,
we leave you with all the pride that comes with being a Hamtramck High School Student.

It's your home away from home.
Someplace you can always come back to and visit.

Dickinson East celebrated100 years of successfully ed-ucating Hamtramck’s youththis year.Holbrook School is 116
years old and continues to bea respected Southside institu-tion. While the Early Child-hood Elementary Schoolcontinues to offer top notchinstruction in a nurturing envi-ronment for Hamtramck’syoungest students. Ham-tramck Public Schools have
National Honor Society mem-bership at all schools. Last year HPS began its
anti-bullying campaign in allschools. Teachers, students,administrators and restora-tive practices coordinatorshave held “community build-ing circles” where bullyingprevention, how to handle so-cial situations, role playingand recognizing the signs ofbullying are discussed. Theultimate goal of the “circles”
is that students learn practi-cal skills to foster harmonywithin the school and thecommunity.Research shows that a stu-
dent led approach is the mosteffective way to combat bully-ing. Students at KosciuszkoMiddle School created a Pub-lic Service Announcementvideo about bullying. Thevideo is posted at www.ham-tramck.k12.mi.us Music and arts have flour-
ished during 2012-2013. Thepowerful all-district concertand art show held on May 20at the HHS Community Cen-ter featured the HHS chorus,the HHS band, theKosciuszko orchestra, inter-mediate and advanced bandand vocal music perform-ances by Dickinson West andEast. Art worked from allschools graced the lobby. Theaudience demonstrated theirappreciation with spine chill-
ing applause. It keeps gettingbetter all the time. Athletics during the 2012-
2013 school year kept Ham-tramck Public Schoolstudents physically active inorganized competition. Stu-dents competed in girls andboys’ soccer, girls and boys’basketball, wrestling, girls’volleyball, girls’ tennis andboys’ baseball. Every student that was in-
volved in sports is a winner. It
is not about winning or losingit is about being active, beinginvolved in an organized andstructured program. Our dedi-cated athletic director andcoaches go the extra mileworking with students teach-ing lifelong team-buildingskills while having fun.It keeps getting better all
the time.Tom NiczaySuperintendent of Hamtramck Public Schools

9 Hamtramck Review Phone (313) 874-2100 Friday, June 14, 2013
Kudos to the city counciland acting city manager forworking out a budget forthis year that actually in-cludes a surplus of$18,000.That’s pretty remarkable
considering the city isabout to be taken over by astate-appointed emergencymanager because of a $3.4million deficit.Despite the ability of the
council to get this year’sbudget in order, theymissed a golden opportu-nity to raise extra revenueand begin to whittle downthe deficit.The council rejected a
proposal by Acting CityManager Kyle Tertzag topass on the city’s bill forstreet lights to propertyowners. Tertzag suggesteda “fee” to be charged tohomeowners to alleviate ayearly $500,000 cost tothe city.It would have been an
extra $90 a year for the av-erage homeowner, but thecouncil rejected the idea.Instead of bringing in
much needed new revenue,the council adopted abudget that needlessly cutsa position in the Commu-nity & Economic Develop-ment Department.
If anything, city officialsshould be investing in eco-nomic development – nottaking away from it.Had the council agreed to
a nominal fee they couldhave helped eliminate thedeficit and preserve a keyposition. Now, however, theCED consists of one person— its director.Of course not including a
fee to property owners isthe popular thing to do, butit’s not the responsiblething. Hopefully, the incom-ing emergency manager willdo what this council re-fuses to do: Show leader-ship.
City officials should reconsider special fees to help reduce deficit

HELP WANTED
A lengthy discussion washeld on whether to allow thecity to apply for a bank loanthat would be paid back withsummer property taxes.This type of loan is a com-
mon practice, and it’s for-mally called a TaxAnticipation Note, or TAN.Acting City Manager
Tertzag said the loan willallow the city to make anoverdue payment to thecity’s pension fund. The cityneeds to make a $2.2 mil-lion payment to the fund orit will be in default.That could mean that the
city could be sued and theamount owed placed on theproperty tax rolls for home-owners to pay.Councilmember Anam
Miah was initially against theloan, saying it was only de-laying a fix to the city’s fi-nances.Councilmember Gordon
said that borrowing moneynow will only put the city be-hind later. She suggestednot taking the loan and letthe state-appointed emer-
gency manager decide whataction to take.“I say we do nothing and
let them (state officials) dothe hard work,” Gordon said.Councilmember Mo-
hammed Hassan agreed,saying that the city will soonfind itself in a financial hole.And if the city is threatenedwith a lawsuit as a result, hesaid: “Let them sue us.”Councilmember Tom
Jankowski said this is anissue about whether the citydecides to pay its bills or notpay them.Mayor Majewski agreed,
saying the council needs tomake a decision and not“hand it off” to the state.“One way or another, this
has to get paid,” she said.At one point Councilmem-
ber Zwolak blew up at themayor, and Police Chief MaxGarbarino moved towardZwolak. Zwolak said to Gar-barino: “Get out of my face.”At that point Mayor Majew-
ski ordered Zwolak out ofthe council chamber.(Editor’s note: This could be
the first time in Hamtramck’shistory that a councilmemberwas ejected from a meeting.)In the vote to accept the
loan, all remaining coun-cilmembers voted in favor
except for CouncilmembersAbdul Algazali and Hassan.That’s it for this week.
Come back next week forpart two.
