Administration Lasting Impression Leading The Way For MHS. How did you feel when you came to MHS for the first time? You may find this question easy to answer. but how do you think Principal Marilyn Hendrix felt her first time at MHS? Mrs. Hendrix came from Hill- crest High in 1973. It was the school's opening in 1973 and Mrs. Hendrix was appointed the school's first principal. She was under a lot of pressure because she had never been principal. It was a new school, and even more impor- tantly, she was the first female principal in Greenville County. Mrs. Hendrix said, I wanted the challenge. Of course I was scared, but the opportunity was so great. I had a lot of decisions to make such as the school mascot and colors, courses to offer, and I had to hire a staff. Even though Mrs. Hendrix had the odds stacked against her, she prevailed over them to bring MHS to what it is today A MODEL FOR THE NATION. Gregg Wyatt 4 .v. 4--pa ffl ff' is No Hank Pank . Vlrs.

l:aculty!Staff Ch, What A Feeling! Nothing Could Be Finer Than To Work At MHS. Recent national surveys indicated that there is a declining number of people who have an interest in becoming teachers. When senior Kelly Moore was asked if she had ever considered becoming at teacher, the answer was a quick uno . The reason: Teachers don't get paid enough for everything they have to put up with. Another student shared the same senti- ments. She said, I wouldn't want to put up with all of the troublemakersf' However, for the faculty, teaching was something they considered very worth- while. And nothing could be finer than to teach at MHS. There's a special feeling that the faculty had about the students, administration, and peers. Mrs. Pat Krejci, a math teacher, said, The best thing about being a teacher here is how you're left alone to do your job. You don't have somebody standing over you checking and that makes it easier to get the job done. Mrs. Krejci also cited the unity that the teachers had as another plus. The teachers are willing to share ideas and help each other. There is no competition among the faculty. Other faculty members also said that the community involvement was some- thing unique that the school possessed. Coach Ben Reid best summed up what was so special about teaching at the high school when he said, This is my home. Nancy Schmid Teachers are people too.
