What Implements the School’s Philosophy? The secondary faculty at- tempts to implement the school’s philosophy by pro- viding a curriculum which ad- dresses the mental, physical, emotional, and social needs of each student. These dedi- cated individuals endeavor to develop and impart skills, at- titudes, and knowledge which will enable the student to succeed as a functional member of society. These ideals and ethics are those expressed in the Bland Com- bined School Evaluation 1985-1986. This book was compiled in accordance with the State Board of Education. A self-study of the school was required and was followed by an evaluation by a visiting committee. The secondary faculty un- derwent several losses and gains. Among the losses was the leaving of three fine teachers. Miss Mary Greever retired after 43 years of teaching. Mrs. Karen Green left to go on tour with the rock band, M. VALDIMAR, of which she is a member. Mrs. Bar- bara Guthrie became a mem- ber of a government team working to save the Chesa- peake Bay. In contrast though, three new faculty members were added. They were Mr. Scott Bowen, Mrs. Kimberly Styron, and Mr. John Wagoner. Creative Writing and World History were two new courses that were added this year. More emphasis has been placed on writing this year and the English classes have undergone a facelift. It is now required that Standard of Learning Objectives be do- cumented and ten or more competencies for each class be met.
