The Showdown is an Australian rules football local derby game played by the two Australian Football League teams from South Australia, the Adelaide and Port Adelaide football clubs. The head to head count between the two clubs only include premiership matches.
The South Australian Brewing Company, makers of West End beers, were the first sponsors of the game and decided that the "Showdown" would be an appropriate name as a promotional opportunity for games between these two clubs, since it was the first time two South Australian teams had played against each other in the AFL.
The rivalry between Adelaide and Port Adelaide is often considered the best in the Australian Football League with Malcolm Blight, Australian Football Hall of Fame Legend, stating in 2009 that "there is no doubt it is the greatest rivalry in football."[1]

Background[edit]

Australian rules football has been played by designated clubs in South Australia since 1860 along with recorded instances of Gaelic football as early as 1843.[2] In 1876 South Australian clubs agreed to universally adopt the rules of the 'Old Adelaide club' which were the closest to those in use in Victoria at the time.[3] In 1877 eight local clubs came together, of which only Port Adelaide and South Adelaide remain, and formed the first Australian rules football administration by establishing the South Australian Football Association (later renamed as the SANFL).[4] During the late 1970s and early 1980s the Victorian Football League began to assert its economic dominance. This assertion came in the form of expanding into other states, initially with the Sydney Swans in New South Wales in 1982, and through recruitment of significant numbers of players from other states.
The Showdown's intense rivalry can be traced back to the initial attempts of SANFL clubs trying to enter the expanding VFL and the latter competition for licences for the subsequent AFL.
First South Australian AFL licence[edit]
In 1982 the SANFL approached the VFL in regards to entering two sides, Port Adelaide and longtime major rival Norwood, in the Victorian league.[3] This action was also taken by WAFL club East Perth in 1980.[5] All approaches were ignored by the VFL at the time with the reason given by Jack Hamilton being that the VFL clubs thought that one or two SANFL teams would end up being too strong later admitting that they also wanted to continue to poach the states best players, which would soon include Craig Bradley and Stephen Kernahan in 1986.[6] 1982 also saw the first instance of the VFL expanding beyond Melbourne and Geelong with the South Melbourne Football Club being relocated to Sydney. The Port Adelaide Football Club's annual report from late 1982 showed that the failure of the attempts made by South Australian and West Australian clubs to enter the VFL significantly impacted the club's understanding of its future.[7] From this point Port Adelaide restructured the club in regards to economics, public relations and on-field performance for an attempt to enter the league in 1990. There was genuine feeling that failure to do this would result in the club ceasing to exist in the future.[8]
Michael Robinson in writing for the 1985 Football Times Yearbook suggested that Norwood and Port Adelaide would be better off in a National competition due to the gate sharing arrangements brought in by the SANFL that year[9]
In 1985 Port Adelaide registered itself as a national football club. Sentiment at this time amongst the direction of Australian rules football in South Australia was succinctly encapsulated by a Michael Robinson article in the 1985 Football Times Yearbook that previewed the SANFL's upcoming season. In that article Robinson wrote about the disappointment of the equal gate sharing of match takings enforced by the SANFL for the upcoming season with the stronger South Australian clubs propping up ailing clubs such as Woodville.[9]
“ "What would be left of the SA league without the great clubs such as Norwood and Port Adelaide? It would drop to a miserable fourth-class contest. No one could blame Norwood and Port Adelaide for wanting to get out of the SA league into national ranks if they are further threatened by the dragging down process. ”
— Michael Robinson in regards to impacts of gate revenue sharing adopted by the SANFL for the 1985 season on Norwood and Port Adelaide, [9]
The following year the SANFL registered the name "Adelaide Football Club" in 1986 but ended up deciding against entering a team into the VFL.[10] In 1986 Norwood Football Club made an independent approach to the VFL with entry into the league discussed in great detail but these discussions ultimately failed to materialise.[8] In 1987 the West Coast Eagles and Brisbane Bears were admitted to the Victorian Football League leaving South Australia as the only mainland state without representation in the VFL.
“ “In 1988 a deputation from Norwood Football Club had announced it was interested in joining the VFL ‘at any time in the future’ and ... a private consortium headed by Ken Eustice was interested in grabbing a licence.” ”
— Ross Oakley, [11]
By 1989 seven out of ten SANFL clubs were recording losses and the combined income of the SANFL and WAFL had dropped to 40% of that of the VFL.[10] The 1989 Port Adelaide annual report and November newsletter contrasted with the outlook of other SANFL and WAFL clubs. After its demolition of North Adelaide in the 1989 SANFL Grand Final holding its opposition to a single goal, the club claimed a profit in the annual report and hinted at its intentions the following year in the club newsletter by saying Port Adelaide was "far better than their nearest rival in the SANFL".[12][13]
Left: On 9 August 1990 it was revealed Norwood had been in discussions with the AFL to join in 1991. However, after seeing the local media response to Port Adelaide's bid they sided with the SANFL. Norwood would again try to gain a licence during 1994 in a merger with Sturt[14]
Right: An injunction was won in the Supreme Court of South Australia preventing Port Adelaide from continuing its discussions with the AFL after 12 August 1990
During early 1990 the SANFL had decided to wait three years before making any further decision. Frustrated with lack of progress, Port Adelaide were having secret negotiations in the town of Quorn for entry in 1991.[15]A practice match organised by Port Adelaide and Geelong on the 25 February at Football Park attracted at over 30,000 spectators and illustrated the potential of a South Australian side in the newly renamed national competition.[16] Around the same time AFL was also seeking Norwood to join the national competition in 1990. However Norwood would eventually side with the SANFL after seeing the media reaction to Port Adelaide's attempts.
“ "They [the SANFL clubs] are not going to make that decision until they are at the lowest possible ebb. They'd be voting themselves into obscurity [opting for a composite team] in their state." ”
— Ross Oakley in regards to the other SANFL clubs opposing Port Adelaide's entry.[17]
When the knowledge of Port Adelaide Football Club's negotiations to gain an AFL licence were made public, the other SANFL clubs saw it as an act of treachery. Subsequently, the SANFL clubs, led by Glenelg, urged Justice Olssen to make an injunction against the bid, which he agreed to.[10] In total the SANFL spent $500,000 in legal fees to stop Port Adelaide's entry into the AFL, with the latter simply unable to compete in the court room. The SANFL promptly created a composite team to beat Port Adelaide's bid. The Adelaide Football Club gained what was very close to being Port Adelaide's licence to the AFL and began playing in 1991. The new Adelaide club would adopt the moniker of "Crows" after the states inhabitants often used the nickname "Crow-eaters". During this time the SANFL began suing people involved with Port Adelaide, including people volunteering in unpaid positions, with the AFL quickly stepping in to guarantee the protection of the club and associated people.[3] In 2014 during an interview with the Adelaide Advertiser, Ross Oakley revealed that "In desperation to force (the SANFL’s) hand...we began dealing directly with two powerhouse clubs of the SANFL, Norwood and Port Adelaide...we were changing the league’s name to AFL — and we could not go without a team from Adelaide.”[18]

“ "These twenty blokes, everyone who has helped us, are sensational people and all the views that you have read in the press the one thing that really matters is that there will always be a Port Adelaide Football Club." ”
— George Fiacchi upon accepting the 1990 Jack Oatey Medal for best on ground at the 1990 SANFL Grand Final.[20]
“ "I want to tell you that you want to enjoy this moment for what it is because the good times are well and truly gone. Apart from Jack (John Cahill) and the players there are a couple of individuals out there who are responsible for that and make sure you enjoy tonight because the good times will not happen again." ”
— Glenelg coach and inaugural Adelaide coach Graham Cornes's address to the Port Adelaide change-rooms post the 1990 SANFL Grand Final.[21]
The front runners for the coaching job at the newly created club were both involved in the last SANFL game played in South Australia before the advent of a local AFL team, the 1990 SANFL Grand Final. In that game Port Adelaide, coached by John Cahill defeated Glenelg, coached by Graham Cornes, by 15 points. Graham Cornes ended up being selected to coach the Adelaide Crows for the 1991 AFL season. Cornes complied a club list of the best players from South Australia, with few originating from other states, in what was almost a state side in the first year.[22] Chris McDermott, captain of Glenelg in the 1990 SANFL Grand Final, was designated as the Crows inaugural captain.[22] Despite Port Adelaide being SANFL premiers in 1990, only 5 players from the team became part of the Adelaide Crows squad of 52. Those players being Bruce Abernethy, Simon Tregenza, David Brown, Darren Smith and Scott Hodges, with the last three joining Port Adelaide's inaugural AFL squad in 1997.[22][23]
Second South Australian AFL licence[edit]
The Adelaide Crows admission to the AFL had a devastating impact on the leagues attendances with the SANFL recording a 45% drop between 1990 and 1993.[24] Port Adelaide defied this trend of falling SANFL attendances recording an increase of 13% from 1990 to 1993.[25]
“ "I only hope petty jealousies and fears within the S.A.N.F.L. don't short circuit a Port Adelaide proposal which clearly seems better than any other" ”
— Tony Greenberg, Inside Football, June 1994, [26]
In 1994 the AFL announced that South Australia would receive a licence for a second team based in the state.[6] The major bids competing with Port Adelaide this time around were from merger club proposals in Norwood-Sturt, and Glenelg-South. On 15 June the SANFL handed down a report recommending the second license go to a team formed from the amalgamation of two clubs.[3]
“ “In my opinion coming second [not getting the second South Australian AFL licence] means you die” ”
— Michael Aish, August 1994., [27]
On 2 October Port Adelaide won the 1994 SANFL Grand Final, its fifth in seven years. On 13 December Port Adelaide won the tender for the second SA license over its various state rivals, however it was prevented from entering the competition before 1996 as stipulated in the Adelaide Crows license agreement.[28] In 1996 Port Adelaide was left to wait again as a vacancy was required in the league.
When the Brisbane Bears and Fitzroy Lions merged at the end of the 1996 AFL season, a vacancy had been created, and Port Adelaide were confirmed as participants in the 1997 AFL season.
Other contributing factors[edit]
Along with the circumstances of the two clubs entries into the national competition are numerous other factors that fuel the rivalry.
Player recruitment[edit]
Due to the inherent nature of being the only two South Australian clubs in the competition, when a player seeks to move to the state both clubs often vigorously compete for the players signature.
Local media[edit]
Whilst housing numerous television and radio stations with their own local personalities, South Australia simultaneous lacks the presence of either a Rugby League or Rugby Union franchise. This results in the focusing being almost entirely on Australian rules football and media personalities almost exclusivly following one of the two local AFL teams. As a result of this intense media focus on Australian rules football in the Adelaide media by supporters exclusively from the two local clubs, the air time of interstate clubs and their happenings are reduced. Additionally it is almost impossible for executive editors and directors of media in Adelaide to not have some sort of club allegiance. An example is Andy Kay, the general manager of Channel 7 Adelaide since 2017, who is an avid Adelaide Crows fan and was the inaugural host of a program called "The Crows Show". Some presenters in radio and television are either ambassadors of the two clubs for which the individuals, in exchange for positive publicity of their club, receive invitations to club events. Additionally some media personalities and editors are simultaneously employees of one of the clubs themselves. This has led countless conflicts of interest with some using their positions in the media to discredit or slander the rival clubs. In the lead up to Port Adelaide's 2018 match against St Kilda at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Crows member and local tabloid journalist, Mike Smithson on radio and news reports suggested that Port Adelaide fans take their poncho's and preferably stay at home due to the weather. However the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in the lead up said there was a 0% chance of rain for the duration of the match. Also in 2018 it was alleged that the Adelaide Crows had approached the Adelaide Advertiser to seek the dismissal of long time chief football writer Michelangelo Rucci who grew up as a Port Adelaide fan.[29] Port Adelaide fans pointed to articles from 2011 and 2012 when Rucci regularly pilloried their club as proof that he is sufficiently impartial, especially considering the strong presence of pro-Adelaide Crows voices in South Australian media.
Litigation[edit]
Apart from the initial instances of litigation when Port Adelaide administrators and volunteers were sued in 1990, there have been numerous more recent examples of the practice.[3] When Scott Hodges, a player for both clubs at different stages but primarily Port Adelaide, released his book describing an encounter with his team mate Andrew Jarman during his time at the Adelaide Crows, the latter player publicly threatened the former with legal action.
State guernsey[edit]
In 2005 for the AFL's Heritage Round, the Adelaide Crows decided to wear the 1930 South Australian state guernsey. During the same match Port Adelaide were blocked by the AFL from wearing the club's Prison Bar guernsey.
“ "The Adelaide football team and the SA state side are two seperate identities – and they should not be confused," ”
— John Halbert, The Advertiser, 2005
In February 2014, the Adelaide Crows announced that they would wear the South Australian state guernsey in the first Showdown at Adelaide Oval. This left Port Adelaide fans particularly aggrieved as many of their greats had worn the South Australia guernsey in the past. Port Adelaide released a statement at the time saying that the state guernsey was "a symbol of South Australian football unification, not division".[30] Others commented that it would be misappropriation to use a State guernsey for a club based competition with players who came from interstate being forced to wear a symbol of South Australia.
“ My father wore that state jumper to represent SA. So did I. So did many others. That jumper is sacred in my books...I spoke to Eddie McGuire today and suggested Carlton might wear the Big V in a heritage game. You can imagine the reaction. Clubs don't get to wear state jumpers...[31] ”
— Stephen Kernahan comments on the South Australian state guernsey.[32]
Lingering resentment[edit]
Many supporters of traditionally strong South Australian clubs other than Port Adelaide, such as Norwood, Sturt, Glenelg and North Adelaide, were left frustrated that Port Adelaide were the only SANFL club to make the transition to the AFL.
Competitiveness[edit]
The Showdown has a history of upsets with ladder ranking and betting markets being a poor indicator of the final result. As of Showdown 44, over a third of meetings have gone the way of the lower ranked team. In addition to this the overall head-to-head lead has been held by both teams at different stages, has never gone beyond a differential of 6 and, as of Showdown 44, is equal with both teams on 22 wins each. This contrasts with the Western Derby where West Coast have never relinquished the lead of the head-to-head ledger and have at some stages held a 12 win differential over Fremantle and the Sydney Derby where the Sydney Swans have also never relinquished the lead of the head-to-head ledger and held a 8 win differential over the GWS Giants after 9 meetings.
Notable Showdowns[edit]
1997 Round 4: The Inaugural Showdown[edit]
In the inaugural Showdown, Port Adelaide beat the Adelaide Crows by 11 points. Having won their first match in the AFL against Geelong the week before, a pumped up Port jumped the Crows in the first half and managed to hold on in the final quarter as the Crows mounted a comeback.[33] The game notably also featured a fight between Port's Scott Cummings and Adelaide's Rod Jameson.
“ The battle of Adelaide has been fought and won. They brought with them a mountain of tradition, there's no denying that. A bonafide club, as distinct from the other. A club forged over many years. What an impact. There are a few chameleons in the crowd. I think a few changed during the course of the game. They found their roots. ”
— Dennis Cometti immediately after the siren had sounded signifying the end of the game[31]
Dennis Cometti, commentator for the inaugural Showdown, later elaborated on his chameleon comment saying that when the Adelaide Crows entered the AFL some Port Adelaide supporters began to follow the new team as it was the only South Australian club competing on the national stage, but six years after their original club attempted to do the same, they reverted to supporting Port Adelaide after they won the first showdown.[31]

The Ramsgate Hotel was the location of an altercation between the two sides in 2002
The round 5, 2002 Showdown was the second time in a row Port Adelaide had won by 8 points. After the game players from both sides coincidentally came across each other at the Ramsgate Hotel in Henley Beach. During the match Josh Carr had been tagging Mark Ricciuto holding him to only 6 kicks (for comparison Ricciuto averaged 13 over his career).[34] After the game when the groups of players met at the Ramsgate Hotel the two started an argument, and with the assistance of alcohol, a brawl between the two groups broke out. No one was badly injured. The publicity of this incident resulted in the only consecutive Showdown crowds of 50,000 at Football Park.[35]

2004 Round 7: The Upset[edit]
Showdown XV is memorable for the magnitude of the upset that the Adelaide Crows pulled off and the fact that it ended Port Adelaide's 7 game winning streak in Showdowns. At the start of the game Port Adelaide had won 5 of its first 6 games whilst Adelaide had only managed one. The gambling markets had Adelaide at $5 to win the match, the longest odds offered in any Showdown.[36] Port Adelaide entered the first break with a 6-point lead but the Adelaide Crows coach of the time Gary Ayres gave his side a spray and subsequently ran away with the game to cause arguably the biggest upset in Showdown history.

2005 Semi Final: The "Ultimate" Showdown[edit]
In the 2005 AFL Finals Series, Adelaide and Port Adelaide met in a semi-final, the first time, and thus far only time in their history they had played against each other in a finals game. The stakes of a showdown had never been higher and South Australia experienced an unprecedented high anticipation to the game in the week leading up to the match. The match was known in the buildup as "The Ultimate Showdown".[37] The first half of the game was an intense, defensive contest with the Crows leading 4.7 (31) to 3.6 (24) at the main break. Tempers almost boiled over in the second quarter after Adelaide ruckman Rhett Biglands was stretchered from the ground after a Byron Pickett shirtfront. However Biglands would return in the second half and the incident would eventually be deemed legal.[38] After half time, Adelaide thrashed Port Adelaide outscoring them by 76 points cruising home for an 83-point win, ending Port Adelaide's season. This remains as the only final played between the two sides and the only final the two would ever play at Football Park. 2005 was also the only time one of the clubs had defeated the other side in 3 Showdowns in the same AFL season.

2008 Round 3: The Brutal Showdown[edit]
Showdown 24 is often cited as the most physical meeting of the two clubs. Early in the match Dean Brogan fractured Luke Jericho’s sternum. The game was memorable in the Adelaide Crows ability to just hold and limp to the siren for a win despite having four injured players on the bench against a Port Adelaide side with all the momentum kicking the last three goals of the match, with Daniel Motlop bringing the margin to 6 points with two minutes remaining. The 6 point margin was at the time the smallest in Showdown history and the result evened the ledger for the first time since 2000.

Diagram of Angus Monfries' goal kicked on the 50 metre line that bounced before the left behind line, significantly changed direction right, and crossed the goal line to bring Port Adelaide within 2 points of Adelaide with 87 seconds remaining
In 2013 Port Adelaide beat Adelaide in the final Showdown to be played at Football Park. The game was also memorable for Port Adelaide's late final quarter charge, coming back from 20 points in the last 6 minutes of the game. This included a goal by Angus Monfries from outside 50 that landed just in front of the Port Adelaide's point line, bounced at right angles and went through for a goal. Chad Wingard kicked his fifth goal in the last 28 seconds to hand Port Adelaide the lead and win.[39] Port Adelaide winning this match meant the club had won the first, last and most Showdowns played at Football Park.
“ Monfries has kicked a goal, unbelievable! That makes up for Robbie Gray in the first quarter...It's gone at right angles, right angles Tim!
I haven't seen anything like that, if Pythagoras is watching, explain that!

2014 Round 2: Football returns to Adelaide Oval[edit]
The round 2, 2014 Showdown on 29 March 2014 saw the first Showdown played at Adelaide Oval along with the first game of Australian rules football at the venue since its extensive redevelopment. Port Adelaide led from the start, with Matthew Lobbe kicking the first goal in an Adelaide Oval Showdown but Adelaide mounted a comeback and claimed the lead briefly in the third. After the halfway mark of the third quarter, Port Adelaide ran away with the game winning by 55 points.[40]

2015 Round 16: Phil Walsh memorial match[edit]
The round 16, 2015 Showdown on 19 July 2015 had added significance due to the recent death of Crows senior coach Phil Walsh, who spent ten years as an assistant in two stints with Port Adelaide, including their 2004 premiership.[41] The game lived up to expectation, with the Crows holding on desperately in the last quarter to win by three points, the closest margin in a Showdown. The game was played in front of 53,518, the largest attendance at the venue since the 1973 SANFL Grand Final. Scott Thompson was awarded the one off Phillip Walsh Medal, presented by Walsh's daughter Quinn.[42]

2018 Round 8: Flashpoint finish[edit]
The round 8, 2018 Showdown held on 12 May 2018 is heralded as one of, if not, the greatest showdown of all time. the match was played at Adelaide Oval in front of a Port Adelaide home-crowd of 50,967. The game may not be remembered for its relatively dull first half which saw the Adelaide Crows race out to 21-point lead moments before half-time. However, it will be remembered for its high octane second-half which saw Port Adelaide cut Adelaide's margin back to single figures with 5 minutes left in the third quarter. Robbie Gray kicked 2 goals late (his fourth and fifth of the quarter) to give Port Adelaide the lead at three-quarter time.[43] The final quarter was largely played in Adelaide's forward half but they could not trouble the scoreboard. With less than three minutes to go, the game looked all-but over with the Power almost certain of a win. But it wasn't over yet. Adelaide managed three goals in little over 2 minutes to regain the lead with 42 seconds on the clock through a Mitch McGovern set shot.[43] One last turn would see off-season Port Adelaide recruit Steven Motlop kick the winning goal with 21 seconds left, sending the Power fans into a frenzy. Robbie Gray claimed the showdown medal for his best on ground display.[43] He managed 6 goals (5 of which in the third quarter). The win ended Adelaide's 5-game winning streak over Port Adelaide.

2018 Round 20: Controversial final goal[edit]
Showdown 45 was a tight contest for the entire game apart from the opening where the Crows kicked the first three goals of the match. Second gamer Kane Farrell kicked three goals to close out the first interval with the quarter time scores level and the margin thereafter never again reaching three goals. Late in the final quarter Ollie Wines had the opportunity to seal the game with a set shot from a tight angle but his banana kick was ineffective. Minutes after Wines shot, Josh Jenkins snapped and his score was referred to the goal review umpire to clarify whether it hit the post. The score was quickly ruled a goal by the goal review umpire despite Josh Jenkins calling his team mates to set up for a kick out. He later stated his doubt in a post game interview. Robbie Gray was awarded a record fourth Showdown Medal becoming just the third player, after Graham Johncock and Shaun Burgoyne, to win the honour coming from the losing side.
“ My grandma raised me not to tell fibs. I think it hit the post...but I'm pretty happy they didn't think so. ”
— Josh Jenkins during a post game interview on the field, [44]
“ Let me be really clear right from the start, Adelaide deserved to win, they were the better team in a really close game, Both teams going at it, they had a number of more entries, more contested possession, we had a chance to put them away but we didn't. But to deal with that last moment, where the player acknowledges it's hit the post and the AFL, in a billion-dollar industry, can wreck seasons for football clubs that work too hard. If I was the AFL, I'd be embarrassed and disappointed in an industry that's so important to so many people. I will say again, Adelaide Crows were the better team on the night and deserved to win. ”
— Ken Hinkley during the post game interview, [45]

Results[edit]
The two clubs sometimes meet in preseason fixtures, however these are not official Showdowns and do not contribute to the official statistics of the fixture. While the AFL draw is not a complete double round robin it is designed each year to include two Showdowns in recognition of its significance and gate drawing power.

Pre Showdown medal best on grounds[edit]
As the Showdown medal was only introduced in 2000, six Showdowns were played without a medal being awarded. Those players who were deemed by the umpires in the Brownlow Medal voting to be best on ground are listed below. Michelangelo Rucci, the chief football writer for The Advertiser, has suggested that these players be retroactively awarded Showdown Medals.[49]

Attendances by timeslot[edit]
Due to the ever-strong demand for tickets to the Showdown, the AFL have traditionally fixtured the game in undesirable time slots with the knowledge that a good crowd will show up regardless. Broadcasters have also been reluctant to broadcast the game in national time slots thinking that interest will be limited beyond the South Australian boarder. The Showdown has never been scheduled on a Friday night, universally held to be the premier time-slot for AFL fixtures.

The School Without Walls Senior High School (SWW) is a small public magnet high school in the Foggy Bottom area of Washington, D.C. It is colloquially referred to by students and faculty as "Walls".
The school was established in 1971 following the model of the Parkway Program in the School District of Philadelphia. The goal was to create a learning environment that offered an alternative to the conventional programs. They started with fifty students, six teachers, and one administrator.[1]
The school is located on the George Washington University (GWU) campus, on G Street intersecting 21st Street NW. Founded in 1971, the School Without Walls was originally located on the 8th floor of 1411 K St., an office building. In the fall of 1973 the school relocated to 10th and H Streets, N.W., where SWW shared space with the Webster Girls School program, a program for pregnant teens.
Today SWW provides an academic curriculum and encourages students to "use the city as a classroom." It is part of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) and draws students from all parts of the city. Any student interested in applying must follow an entrance procedure, involving a multiple choice test, a written essay, an interview, and a report of the applicant's standardized test scores and grades from previous years. School Without Walls now has approximately 600 students[2] and spans the 9th through 12th grades[3]
In August 2007, Walls was relocated to Capitol Hill in the Logan School building on G Street NE between Second and Third Streets NE (near Union Station and adjacent to the Securities & Exchange Commission headquarters). This temporary home was used for two years while the original building was renovated. The Logan School was renovated—including a new roof and internal work—during the summer of 2007 to accept students. In August 2009, The School Without Walls moved back into the Grant School following an opening ceremony by Mayor Adrian Fenty, DCPS chancellor Michelle Rhee and George Washington University President Steven Knapp.

Academic achievements[edit]
DCPS' school profile for Walls states that "SWW provides a quality student-centered environment that maximizes integrative, interactive, experiential learning within the framework of a humanities approach. This program is achieved by using the city and the world as a classroom. The school is a model of collaboration among students, staff, families, business partners, and the community."[4] Walls was named a National Blue Ribbon School September 9, 2010, one of only 304 schools nationwide. The Blue Ribbon Schools Program recognizes and honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools whose students achieve at very high levels or have made significant progress and helped close gaps in achievement, especially among disadvantaged and minority students.[5]
The Street Law students recently won a citywide mock trial, and arts students have won numerous awards for their artwork—including 2011's National Cherry Blossom Festival Youth Poster Contest.[6]
SAT scores[edit]
School Without Walls consistently has the highest combined SAT scores in DCPS with an average combined score of 1253 in 2017.[7]
Historic building[edit]
The School Without Walls facility (during renovations), historically known as the Ulysses S. Grant School, is located in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood.
See also: Ulysses S. Grant School (Washington, D.C.)
The historic Grant School, the building that houses The School Without Walls, was badly deteriorated. There was extensive water damage throughout the school as well. The brick facade needed to be repainted, and the slate roof was steadily losing its shingles. On February 13, 2006 the D.C. City Council and the George Washington University Board of Trustees approved a deal for $12 million to renovate and expand the school building in exchange for transfer of the school's rear parking lot property to the university.[8]
The old facade was kept intact while the inside was renovated and remodeled. A new building was added as an additional wing to accommodate increasing enrollment.
In August 2011, School Without Walls was forced to temporarily close, because of damage sustained to the building's walls and roof during the earthquake and Hurricane Irene a few days later.[9]
Sporting achievements[edit]
Walls has sports programs including: tennis, soccer, crew, basketball, baseball, girls' volleyball, softball, golf, lacrosse, track and field, skiing, lacrosse, and girls' field hockey. The Track and Field team went to the Penn Relay 2011. The softball team won citywide championships in 2011. They followed with another city-title win in 2012.
A student won Gatorade Player of the Year for Girls Outdoor Track and Field in 2017.[10]
In 2017, The SWW girls' volleyball team went to the DCIAA Championship game.[11]
Notable alumni[edit]
Camille Hyde, Class of 2011, actress known for playing the Pink Power Ranger in Power Rangers Dino Charge.[12][13]

Delegation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the handing of a task from a superior to a subordinate. For other uses, see Delegation (disambiguation).

[1]Delegation is the assignment of any responsibility or authority to another person (normally from a manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific activities, such as starting on proper tires during a wet race. It is one of the core concepts of management leadership. However, the person who delegated the work remains accountable for the outcome of the delegated work. Delegation empowers a subordinate to make decisions, i.e. it is a shifting of decision-making authority from one organizational level to a lower one. Delegation, if properly done, is not abdication. The opposite of effective delegation is micromanagement, where a manager provides too much input, direction, and review of delegated work. In general, delegation is good and can save money and time, help in building skills, and motivate people. On the other hand, poor delegation might cause frustration and confusion to all the involved parties.[2] Some agents however do not favour a delegation and consider the power of making a decision rather burdensome.[3]
According to Dr. Kanthi Wijesinghe, Senior Lecturer, National Institute of Education, ‘Delegation begins when the manager passes on some of his responsibilities to the subordinate. Responsibility is the work assigned to an individual’. [4] When assigning these responsibilities to other individuals, these individuals must be willing and ready to be delegated to as well. The delegated readiness of the individuals is an important factor in determining the success of the delegation. Individuals must be prepared for delegation.
Delegation in IT network is also an evolving field.[5]
