Big problem for big school Good administrators and counselors are what make Crockett- the biggest, baddest, and largest school in Austin. Baddest, refers to the some what ill flavored reputation of the school. Without the administrators and counselors, Crockett probably would have gone down the tubes a long time ago. With the capacity to hold 1,800 to 2,000 kids this year Crockett accomodated 2,900. Next year we expect 3,033 students, said Principal Robert Enos. There's no doubt Crockett has a lot of people, but that is not the only problem. The reputation of this school isn't exactly cookies Si cream. Crockett is sometimes called The drug school, by surrounding schools. Crockett students should receive the favorable publicity they deserve, said associate Principal Frances Bush, a 15 year veteran adminstrator at Crockett. Crockett has the most diverse cur- riculum in Austin, said Bush, because of ' if A , QQ' he 1. Associate principal Frances Bush must bring together the needs of the students and faculty and the requirements of the school district. She spends many hours on the phone to accomplish this. 46!Administration the number of students a wider variety of classes must be offered. The students have greatly changed over the years. They are, Usuburbanized and more sophisticated, said Bush and, Hmore susceptible to city problems like drug availabiltyf' Our students have pressure from all directions. The changes brought about by the Texas Legislature's attempt to reform education through HB 72 are causing friction. Some of the changes were enacted in the middle of the year, which added to the confusion. The no pass- no play rule, one hour senior finals, and the tigher attendance policy were problems this year, said Enos. Enos said, Their final decisions will help. The changes on our campus for 1986 are two hour senior finals, three new portables, after-school graduation, and a seven minute passing period. Next year we'1l know what the changes will be and that's a plus, things should go a lot smoother, Sai Enos. Administrators and counselors are th people who help these changes go into ei fect with as little shock to the students e possible, that's their job. Counselors hay time to spend with a student one-on-one t help with personal problems. They work i terms of the overall student and what the want for themselves, said Junior clas Counselor Vivian Ward. Sometime students don't want to talk to anothf teacher about a problem. That's wh counselors are there. They're pretty hand when it comes to getting someone schedule change, too. My goal is to hel students work through personal problerr so they can do better academically. 'T vent frustration without mentioning teacher's name is sometimes all that needed to defuse the situation, said Wan 2 i 3 lk f' . -agp! . ' r., ft , X.
