As a faculty member at Baker High School for the past twenty years, I have observed numerous changes. Growth in numbers of students and faculty members, physical plant improvements, elimination of middle school students from the present school site, and repeated variations in school boundary lines are but a few of the changes which have had a definite impact on Baker High School and the surrounding communities. Through it all, the primary goal is and has been to maintain high standards and strive for excellence in all curricular and extra-curricular activities. An excellent faculty and cooperative student body working together have achieved much during this period. Carbary, English; Carter, Algebra II; ().
