IES' U' CE? FV R Changing Faces And Partnerships Tucson may not be as big as Pheonix or Los Angeles, but it offers everything any oth- er big city would. Tucson has its own three lane, divided freeways, huge shopping malls, rush hour traffic, an occasional haze, and something most cities don't have - un- usual, reversible lanes and timed traffic lights. A special thing about Tucson is that it has a cultural sophistication similar to a modern city and yet it has kept the ambience of the sleepy village it once was. The timeless beauty of the Sonoran De- sert, with its giant saguaro cacti and varied wildlife, has enhanced the growing metropo- lis. Along the desert, Tucson is surrounded New Realms. by a protective ring of six mountain ranges, which provide a backdrop of continually changing colors from purple shadows at sunrise to dark silhouettes against an orange sunset. Tall pine trees and run- ?UCCESS ning mountain streams provide a striking contrast to the dry, desert environment in the valley below. Tucson's historical and cultural influences range from our national parks to adobe homes, from Fort Lowell Park to the Indian Reservations. Famous locations include the Desert Museum, the Arizona Historical Soci- ety, Old Tucson, Kitt Peak, Colossal Cave, and Sabino Canyon which have provided entertainment and education for Tucsonians and tourists alike. Our multicultural and historical heritage is carried over into the schools where our quest for excellence continues to improve. Among many District l schools, Cholla High School has begun to achieve the quest for excel- lence. Cholla High School, built in 1969, was constructed in the Tucson Mountain Range to satisfy the needs of a growing city. Cholla has as unique a student body as the building design itself. Our long-term goals are as dif- ferent as the student backgrounds. We are changing to fit the needs of the future - we are part of the future. This year is special because education is important and schools are making changes for more community involvement and stron- ger curriculum. Teachers are updating ob- iectives and lesson plans have been strictly supervised. It has been an exciting year because par- ents have made the difference. Parents have played the indispensable role in how well their children learned. Today's parents show up not iust once for open house but take an active role in total experience. - By Warren Wong Photos by Jeff Dollar, Dennis Nasta
