Lewis F. Smith Superintendent Since its beginning in 1920 with a student body of 185, Grossmont Union High School District has grown so tremen- doudy that it has been forced to divide and form two separate high schools in the same district -one west of La AAesa, Hehx High SchooL recenHy conuieted, and Grossmont High School be- gun in 1921-wHh a coninned capacny of 3400.'ThB capachy has been ovenreached,the two schook now houyng 3700 stu- dents ln the posh doubm ses Sons and staggered schedules have been necessary to acconv modate our rapidly growing com- munity-the result of war-time industry in strategic nearby San Diego, post-war prosperity and Southern California sunshine- and sinnlar dsadvantageous scheduhngihay be a necesytyin the future unless new schools can be commenced immediately. The administrative offices of our district are located at Grossmont where Mr. Lewis F. Smith and Mr. Harold G. Hughes supervise one of the largest high school districts in California, extending to localities more than 25 miles away and served by a transpon tation system of more than a dozen buses. ln view of such rapidly growing towns as El Cajon, La Mesa and Lemon Grove, H is not surprsing that a recent survey shows that next year the schools will have a com- bined enrolhnent of 4200, the school year 1954-55 wHl bnng over 4600, 1955-56 over 4900, and by 1960 the number will ex- ceed 7200. Obviously, before long, G.U.H.S. District will, of necessity, consist of several high schooh. illlllllllllllllllg E E 2 une E E glllllllllllllllllg E gllllllllllllllllllg 'sez Harold G.

Lcwis F. Smith ,trict Superintendent Wurl- Harold Huglies istant Superintendent Harry Riley Principal In -VP John Cornelius Vice Principal Being half of the Gross- mont Union High School District doesn't ease the load as far as our admin- istrators are concerned. Grossmont High School, with more than 2300 stu- dents, is a complicated organization requiring many important positions. Each staff member - principal, vice - principal, counselors, receptionist, secretaries, attendance personnel, A. S. B . book- keeper, clerk for mimeo- graph and office supplies, student helpers, and others - must all coop- erate to provide ways and means for developing the individual student in con- sideration of his present and future needs, inter- ests and abilities. Under the expert leadership of Mr. Harry Riley, Gross- mant works its large ma- chinery to develop such pupils toward socially de- sirable goals. Grossmont Principal's Office A. Homola, H. Riley, D.
