Key Goals Addressed Direction Provided by School Administrators As each new year begins, administra- tors focus on key goals which must be addressed for the year. Those for 1987- 88 were to complete building projects which included the new gym and audito- rium and work with teachers to improve classroom instruction and drop-out rates. Those goals were met. By mid-year, efforts to improve these areas were being re- warded with results. For example, the completion of building projects continue to benefit the entire school. Dr. Bill Fitz- gerald expressed his pleasure with the stu- dent work and the great cooperation. In addition, new teach- ers have done an ex- cellent job. One of the signifi- cant events was the visit by the Japanese administrators. The purpose for the Japa- nese visitors was to study education in the U.S.A. Tempe district was recommended by the State Department of Education. The Japanese were very impressed with the friendliness and moti- vation of students and their friendly relation- ships with the teach- ers.

From the top of the heap to the bottom of the pile. From upperclassmen to lowest level-again. Just when you thought you were something special, you en- tered high school and be- came, of all things, a fresh- man. What changes occurred with this move? Was it con- fidence or attitude? Or may- be it was just a change of friends and people. These were all common exper- iences in the transition from junior high to high school. Involvement in activities helped to integrate fresh- men into their new society.

Direction for the smooth functioning of a school must start at the top. As in most schools, direction for Tempe schools was set at the District Administrative level, including the Govern- ing Board and Superinten- dents.
