Fermi High School - Traces Yearbook (Enfield, CT)

According to Webster’s Dictionary a microcosm (mi’-kre-koz ’m) is a little world, a miniature universe. Fermi High School is a microcosm of what is often called the ‘‘real world.” The educational goal of Fermi, as with any school, is to present a learning environment to help its students develop practical skills, attitudes, and an understanding of the world. In order to be effective in a life’s work, comprehensibly, each student must become a self-directed person capable of achieving personal goals while also serving the good of society. 4

PETER O’KEEFE FRANK PECH PELLECRINO REVFRUZZI Every experience offered at Fermi High mirrors these educational goals and prepares students for graduation into the real world; today, a much more demanding world than yesterday. Therefore, a student’s responsibility in terms of his her education is also much more challenging. Students must work with the school system by assimilating knowledge, interacting with ideas, developing the self — intellectually, physically, and morally, and by actively participating in determining the meaning and direction of his her education. Parents and students must cooperatively work with teachers and administrators to ensure our schools reflect our society. Education must be relevant and dynamic; a continuous experience involving not only the school, but the individual and the community at large. Then, and only then, will students be able to deal with the constantly changing world. The learning situation offered by Fermi epitomizes those of the work world. This microco sm of skills, knowledge, and “on-the-job-training” will inevitably give students an edge on the future. Education, for those who are its recipients, can only increase the realm of possibility and it can only encourage success in the real world! 5
