School Services School Services prove imperative to daily needs V 1 if The CURRICULUM COORDINA- TOR, GUIDANCE COUNSELORS, DEANS, and MEDIA CENTER inter- act directly with the students. They provide the student body with ser- vices imperative to daily needs. Mr. Larry Huntley, CURRICU- LUM COORDINATOR, was respon- sible for all student scheduling and registration. He also prepared the Escambia High School Curriculum Guide. The GUIDANCE COUNSELORS' duties included: parent student problems, personal problems, eval- uation of academic records and re- ferrals to school and community agencies. Seniors see me with ques- tions about applying for college or financial aid, stated Mrs. Audrey Salter, Senior Counselor. The DEANS have several jobs around EHS. These include every- thing from hall monitoring to lunch duty. Basically however DEANS are responsible for keeping the peace. Our goal is to provide a combina- tion of resources which include peo- ple, services, materials and facili- ties that are appropriate to student development, explained Mrs. Joyce Butler, MEDIA CENTER SECRETARY. This year library management was improved with the addition of an upgraded hard com- puter disk. opposite page 1 Ryan attempts classwork. 2. Oh say can you see . . . 3. Chinese firedrill? 4.

Special areas Special Areas classes are designed Special Areas classes are de- l signed to develop the student in cer- tain subjects. These courses include Driver 's Education, Educable Men- tally Handicapped, Home Econom- ics, Learning Disabilities, NJ ROTC, and Remediation. Students taking Driver 's Educa- tion are required to be fifteen years of age and posses a restricted driv- er 's license. Students are able to ex- perience actual driving conditions. These conditions even involve a jail term when a law has been broken. Mrs. Barbara McDermott is head of the classes for Educable Mentally Handicapped. Our goal is to help those students who learn more slow- ly to become employable and self- sufficient, stated Mrs. Barbara McDermott. Certain Home Economics classes have become required for ninth and tenth graders. The major require- ment for ninth graders is Life Man- agement Skills. These classes help students to identify their own val- ues, to face life realistically, and to use acquired skills toward vocation- al career opportunities. Remediation classes give tutoring to students with exceptional diffi- culty in certain areas. The many students enrolled in the Learning Disabilities classes have been mainstreamed slowly into reg- ular classes. By having their Work monitored by teachers in their de- partments, students are able to achieve sound academic status. For exceptional academic progress, stu- dents earn a special education diplo- ma. In the Naval Junior ROTC, our goal is to develop informed and re- sponsible citizens and strengthen character, stated Commander Jer- ry Guertin, Head of the NJROTC Department. 72
