Leaders shape school's present, future dministrators. What do they actually do? Well, the fact that you have a clean, safe, pleasant environment in which to learn is due to their efforts. They also monitor what you learn and how you go about doing it. School spirit was a major concern of our building principals this year and the success of their efforts was apparent in the positive student attitude toward both academic and extracurricular concerns. During the next five years the district administrators expect the district student population to increase from the present 14,500 to 21,000. There are currently 15 schools in the district and the purchase of land for 17 future schools is being considered. Mr. John Hardin, adminis- trator on assignment for stu- dent conduct, and Mr. Art Nichlas, assistant principal for student conduct, help to provide a safe environment for student learning. 240 Administration Mr. Jerry Smith, associate principal, assists Dr. E. Jim Smith, Principal, with the daily operation of the cam- pus. Dr. Edgar G. Sims, superintendent of schools, provides edu- cational leadership for the 15 schools that comprise the Deer Valley School District. Mar' rib

They work just as hard as the reguiar staff and do their best to help you learn in the short time they are here. Everyone on staff works harder, puts in more time, and gives more of themselves to you than you'll ever know.
