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.

In A Different World Students Speak A Strange Tongue Foreign languages were popular choices to fulfill students elec- tives. Spanish is a widely-spoken lan- guage around the worldg therefore, many students elect- ed Spanish as a course. This foreign language has had a high number of stu- dents pass Advanced Placement Tests for college, saving many students precious time and money, which is one of its val- ues to students. Some freshmen took this course as an opportunity to broad- en their horizons be- cause it gave them a chance to be able to get jobs with a Span- ish language back- ground. French pro- vided a chance for students to learn all about the French peo- ple and their litera- ture. German had many students en- rolled because it gave the students a chance to compare German and English words. Latin students en- joyed their new lan- guage because they discovered the lan- guage which has roots extending to a variety of languages. Students enrolled in these courses, en- joyed them and learned valuable skills. Learning is a self-fulfilling prophecy, according to Mrs. Pompa. tm, ..., . Milf!
