Mr. Charles David Evers, Principal, and his secretary, Mrs. Joyce Grigg Mr. Charles David Evers has been prin- cipal of our school for eight years. During his administration Mr. Evers has brought about many improvements in our school, in both academics and extra-curricular ac- tivities. One of the many responsibilities Mr. Evers possesses is the task of upgrading and improving the quality of education at our school. Due to the large number of incoming freshmen this year, many new staff members had to be hired. “We have added additional faculty members in the academic areas of math, science, English, and social studies to reduce the student- teacher ratio and increase the individual attention provided for students,” Mr. Evers commented. “The improvement of instruction and the updating of curricu- lum has been greatly assisted by the addi- tion of Mrs. Charie Wallace, Assistant Principal in charge of curriculum.” Her responsibilities extend into the class- rooms to improve the quality of educa- tion and the classroom techniques utilized by teachers. Mr. Evers was influential in making many changes suggested by the North Central Evaluation team which visited our campus last year. Among these changes were the establishment of a computer lab in the business department, the hiring of a school nurse to the staff, and the forma- tion of and In-School-Suspension (ISS) program. Other changes are yet to be made in the coming six years until the next evaluation takes place. Dedicated in his goals for excellence in our school, Mr. Evers stated, “I look for- ward to continuing my work as principal of Casa Grande Union High School to make our school the very best secondary institution in the state.” 22 Principal
