Charter Oak High School - Shield Yearbook (Covina, CA)

Page 12 text:

Our Administration has the responsibility of main- taining a high scholastic standard and making available an education that would prepare all of Charter Oak ' s students for college of careers. They went beyond simply doing jobs and spent extra hours of their time helping students grasp basic concepts and run student body organizations. There was no rest from papers and problems but it was worth it to the teachers to sharpen our quest for learning. Always busy with the responsibility of running the school, the principal and vice-principals patiently solved each minor crisis as it came along. They were always ready to give advice and solve problems with a smile. Also ready to help were the secretaries and librar- ians. Though burdened with much paper work and many responsibilities, the secretaries were never too busy to help locate a teacher or answer a question. The librarians always guided us to useful books and references. The counselors answered countless questions about job opportunities, higher education, and the armed forces. They helped seniors decide on colleges and scholarships, while encouraging under-classmen to do their best. Keeping pace with the changing times, the Board of Education has kept the quality of our courses above average. They formulated district policy and the district administrators carried it out. The dedication and plain hard work of our adminis- tration gave the students a greater understanding of life and the year closed with the feeling of a job well done.
