Some of the people who work the hardest for the Fort Stockton Independent School District do not get paid a cent. They are the members of the Board of Education. Their only reward for many hours spent is the satisfaction of seeing a smoothly-running school system. During the current year the Board made a careful study of future needs and decided to call a bond election to finance necessary expansion. A vocational survey was conducted in hopes of obtaining additional vocational courses for Fort Stockton High School. The terms of Board President Jake Broyles and Mrs. Philip Robbins, assistant secretary, expired in 1966 and neither sought re-election. They were replaced on the Board by Martin Shuster and Derwood Caldwell. Named president for 1966-67 was Bert Kincaid. Page Calhoun serves Superintendent James G. Huckaby at the FT A open house honoring teachers. FSHS is fortunate to have a superintendent who is genuinely interested in the activities at the high school. He is a frequent visitor throughout the year, attending pep rallies, assemblies and many other events.

Our Problems Smooth and efficient operation of a school demands a staff constantly at work on problems of attendance, curriculum, schedules, discipline, tests, and records. The school office and the area surrounding it form the hub of this smoothly-functioning organization. The steady stream of students, parents, and teachers who come to this hub can usually find solutions to their problems, whether these problems involve tardy excuses, lost books, cut fingers, graduation requirements, job applications, or emergency telephone calls. Guidance Counselor Henry Ward keeps voluminous records on Fort Stockton High School students and alumni. His job includes testing, helping students make vocational choices, and advising them about colleges.
