The Auburn Board of Education consists of six men chosen by the vote of the people at the local elections.

The superintendent and principal arc also in a position to keep the parents and general public informed about the school program. Each classroom teacher is a specialist in his subject field, since he is picked to teach a specific course, not just to teach any course that is open. The teachers also realize that students often need help with their individual problems, and are willing to spend extra time and effort to offer aid or advice. In Auburn these three important elements are working well together, and so this community can boast of having one of the best secondary school systems in the state. auburn school superintendent F. don maclay 4
