Administrators Describe Career Decisions What do the Army. MacArthur High, and Alief High have in common? These were the old treading grounds for some of Elsik's administrators. South House Assistant Principal Frank Jarrett taught for three years before enlisting in the Army. After the army, he went to graduate school and then applied for an assistant principal position. He was an assistant principal at Westbury High School for a year, and has been here for five years. He enjoyed being an administrator because of the variety. When you are a classroom teacher you develop a way of teaching and can plan out what happens each day. Being an administrator you can't plan out a day and have it go exactly right.” explained Jarrett. Mr. Jarrett wanted to stay in education. If he was not an administrator, he thought that he would either be coaching or teaching. North House Principal Elsie Keeling formerly taught business courses at Alief High School, now Charles Cothran, South House principal for four yoars, had an extra highlight to theyear when his daughter Senior Kim Adams was chosen as Homecoming Queen. Photo by L. Cates Alief Middle School, for 11 years. Mrs. Keeling explained. I received a personal satisfaction seeing young people grow up. and come back to say they were able to use what I taught them. Mrs. Keeling would like to be an architect if she was not a principal because she likes to work with designs and some forms of construction. North House Assistant Principal for six years. Patsy Hoover once taught math. After working with students as a teacher I could see where some of my efforts would not succeed due to lack of time. As a principal. I have more time to work with those students who needed support for a problem other than learning. explained Ms. Hoover. My reward is the progress I see after having worked with a student. Whether it be small or severe, when the student benefits. I am rewarded.” Coordinating Principal Bobby Porter taught for nine years at Aldine ISD and MacArthur High School where he taught PE. health and all areas of social studies. Mr. Porter liked working where he had responsibility and leadership. Mr. Porter's responsibilities included managing the two houses to insure consistency, planning out the schedule of classes for the next year according to projections of enrollment, planning for needed new teachers, and planning a budget. Mr. Porter also enjoyed the fact that he can watch the students grow both mentally and physically. Fourth year North House Engel, previously taught Photo by L. Cates Assistant Principal Dirk Govt.
