ACTION OF EDUCATORS The primary aim of educators is to provide a well rounded education for all students. This year our school was participating in North Central Evaluation. Each department made a study showing strengths, weakness and recommendations for each. This system of evaluation for all member school enables administration and faculty to review and evaluate the aims, philosophy, and objec- tives of the school. The role of the principal's office is to direct the policies set by the board. With the aid of the counselor, teachers, and office staff schedules are kept and a well disciplined school is the result of the combined efforts.

Teachers Who Make A Difference Teachers had to make a lot of sacrifices this year due to the proposed educational standards of Governor's Clinton and the law stating that all schools would begin the school year after Labor Day. The teacher testing law caused much controversy, bad images and bad attitudes toward teachers. But none of the above affected the teachers' performance in the classroom. They taught with all the compassion and competency as never before. Despite all Iobstacles, their performance was excellent. Giving of time and talents beyond the assigned duties is an attribute of a devoted teacher. These are the teachers who make a difference.
