J.B. Pennington High School 1970 J. B. Pennington High School of 1970 has much to be proud of, especially its rich heritage. The great number of distinguished alumni speaks well for the past administration and faculties. Although the school today is different in many 1'espects, there still remains much of the spirit of dedication and loyalty among the students, faculty and the citizens of the community that has existed throughout the history of the school. The Ninth District Agricultural School was established to meet specific needs of the youth at that time, primarily, scientific farming. Today this is only a part of our curriculum. The school curriculum has been modiiied as changing times have created new needs. The school today, as in its early history, is attempting to meet the needs by offering a comprehensive program. The enrollment is now 590 students in grades 7 through 12 with 24 faculty members, five teach- er aides, one custodian and five lunchroom em- ployees. Sixteen buses travel a total distance of 656 miles daily transporting the students to and from school. Approximately 7579 of the students who enroll in the 7th grade graduate with ap- proximately 457b of the graduates enrolling in an institution of higher learning or a technical school. My ambition as principal of the J. B. Penning- ton High School of 1970 is to see that the school continues to offer the very best for youth of this communityg that the good name of the school be upheld and protected so that the many alumni may proudly refer to the J. B. Pennington High School as my school . 168
