DEPARTMENT HEADS PLAN CURRICULUM Under the leadership of Dean of instruction Cele Rodriguez, department heads and lead teachers were more directly involved with teachers and curriculum than in past years. These persons were elected by their respective departments, with the approval of the principal. Their duties included assessing the needs of the department, visiting classrooms, supporting individual teach- ers in their work, and serving on the teacher eval- uation team. Department heads also coordinated TEA goals departmental guidelines, and led in the implementation of the DISD Baseline. The small monetary and extra off-period rewards were small for the countless hours of work and head- aches incurred by the dedicated teachers who served as heads this year. Bris- CURRICULUM

if 1 REGISTRAR The role of the registrar is often one of behind- the-scenes work that students do not see. Ms. Georgann Kelley serves as registrar at Spruce, working with individual schedules, class loads, and IBM data processing. Ms. Kelley taught in the vocational department here at Spruce before moving to the registrar's office. BUSINESS MANAGER Someone has to handle the paper work, approve check requests, authorize purchases, and keep us on a sound financial base. That person is our business manager Bob Hames. Mr. Hames taught in the business department in previous years, and taught one quarter this year. He is responsible for obtaining substitute teachers, and drives a bus in addition to his regular duties as business man- ager. FACULTY
