EMMA, PRINCIPAL Advocate of ohangeg defender of innovation When a school maintains a liberal policy and employs innovative techniques, it often has to be defended-defended by a strong and convincing personality. As principal of john F. Kennedy High School, Dr. Paschal I. Emma has often been in this position. Dr. Emma attended Georgetown University and George Washington University, and received his doctorate from Peabody College. He has always supported a policy that would prepare students to cope with changes and to face the challenges of the twentieth century. As a result, an unpressured atmosphere permeates the school.
