An honored leader. . .
Michelle McIntyre named South Dakota Oral Interp Coach of Year By Lauren Zimbeck English teacher Michelle McIntyre was recently named Head Oral Interp Coach of the Year at the Student Congress National Qualifier April 4 at Pierre T.F. Riggs High School. Her nomination came from assistant WHS oral interp coach Justin Heyd. In his nomFeature ination, Heyd stated that it was an honor to recognize such a great coach and person. “As a coach, Mac (as everyone likes to call her) is extremely patient and fair with every member of the team,” Heyd said. “She sets expectations and always encourages students to have fun and do their absolute best in every competition.” McIntyre was surprised, yet humbled. “I really felt honored to know that I’ve made a difference for my students and earn the respect of the people I work with,” McIntyre said. McIntyre has been coaching
Oral Interp at WHS for seven years. This season was a successful one for the interp team as they were awarded their third consecutive Team of Excellence Award at the State Festival Dec. 2-3, 2016. Also this year, under McIntyre’s leadership, WHS qualified its first member, sophomore Maddy Morgan, to Nationals in 17 years. McIntyre was proud of her team’s performance this past season. “This year was really exciting because we had so many young students new to the program who came in and were really successful from the beginning,” she said. “As a team they all bonded, and most importantly they represented Washington positively and showed the character of our school.” Heyd said in his nomination that McIntyre’s influence, knowledge and kindness has had a lasting impact on her students and her colleagues. “I am a better coach, leader and person because of Michelle McIntyre,” Heyd said in the nomination.

Napoleon exiled to Elba History.com (MCT) On April 11, 1814, Napoleon Bonaparte, emperor of France and one of the greatest military leaders in history, abdicated the throne, and in the Treaty of Fontainebleau, was banished to the Mediterranean island of Elba.
Our History

Although Napoleon developed a reputation for being power-hungry and insecure, he is also credited with enacting a series of important political and social reforms that had a lasting impact on European society, including judiciary systems, constitutions, voting rights for all men and the end of feudalism. In 1812, thinking that Russia was plotting an alliance with England, Napoleon launched an invasion against the Russians that eventually ended with his troops retreating from Moscow and much of Europe uniting against him. In 1814, Napoleon’s broken forces gave up and Napoleon offered to step down in favor of his son. When this offer was rejected, he abdicated and was sent to Elba. In March 1815, he escaped his island exile and returned to Paris, where he regained supporters and reclaimed his emperor title in a period known as the Hundred Days. In June 1815, he was defeated at the bloody Battle of Waterloo. Napoleon’s defeat ultimately signaled the end of France’s domination of Europe. He abdicated for a second time and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena where he lived out the rest of his days. He died at age 52 on May 5, 1821, possibly from stomach cancer, although some theories contend he was poisoned.
