In disciplinary problems he is always willing to listen to the delinquent’s point of view before passing judgment. He is also concerned that every student be well adjusted and happy. Working with Mr. Laughiin and the school board, Mr. Heretick tries to see that C.H.S. has the best teachers and most modern teaching methods and materials available.
