Welcome to our world On November 10, Highlands doors were opened to all parents, students and teachers eoger to learn more about each other and the school itself. Many parents came to Open House to leorn more obout the teachers and the teaching systems they use rather thon to discuss their childs ' grades. Al- though the grades were a main ingre- dient, parents ond students, them- selves, were more concerned on find- ing more possibilities and opportuni- ties that led to the student ' s future plans. Unlike the past, the traditional Ca- reer Instructor, from areo colleges and technicol schools, were not present to answer any of the questions a student may have had. By not having the instructors here, it gove the parents and students a better chance to dis- cuss the childs ' future with his or her teacher who con lead the child in the right direction each day, comment- ed Mrs. McCorty, counselor. Insteod of the instructors, the High- land Singers ond the Jozz Bond hod two performances so the parents could view a portion of the chore! de- partment. The Gymnostics teams, the Science and Art departments ond many of the clubs each hod represen- tations of their specific departments or clubs to give the parents o good idea of what the school was all obout. There were also refreshments served throughout the evening. We hod o big turnout for the event ond I hope thot we will always get the chance to open the doors up to the porents so they con get involved in their child ' s education ond of the life they intend to leod, soid Mr. Paul Johnson, Coun- selor. Working Hard . . . Freshmen Greg Ekstein and Joy Harvey ore seen here hosting Open House. Shootin ' the breeze ... Mr. Dickerson folks to two of many interested parents about their childs ' future. 26 Open House
