SUPERI TE DE P. L. Ewing Highlands first public school principal was A. G. Doyle who served in 1837. Other early principals were John Baer, William Florin, Adolph Suppiger, Theodore Adelmann, W. A. Stille Ph. D., W. M. Valentin, and O. F. Weber. The name of C. L. Dietz, however, is the most closely assoclatcd with the early development of education in High- land. Mr. Dietz became principal and eighth grade teacher in 1886 after serving one year each in grades three and seven. He acted as superintendent and high school teacher from 1894 to 190-1 and from 1919 to 1927 .Though not college-bred, Mr. Dietz was an alert school man and a capable administra- tor. A strict disciplinarian, he inspired the best in his pupils. Three generations of Highland children grew up under the influence of this well-read, deep-thinking, cultured gentleman. Another name which will be written large in the story ot' Highlands educational development is that of our present superintendent, Parmer L. Ewing. Under his administration our curriculum has been lIl0d6l'lliZ9d, the standards of our teachers raised, our high school made a member of the North Central Association, our present junior high system organized, and our new school planned, built, and put in smooth running order. To Mr. Ewing and to Mr. White, our principal, the seniors of 1937 express gratitude t'or careful guidance during our four years in high school. J. J. White

FACULTY 'l'he growth ot' the faculty of the Highland Public School is representative ot' the development ot' education in the community. Prior to 1850, hecause most children were taught privately, only one public school teacher was einployt--1. Miss icllllij' Thorpe held this position front 1817 to 1850. ln 1854 a second teacher was added, and as the nunihet' of pupils grew the faculty increased. Records show that in 1879 there were eight teach- ers, one for each grade ot' elementary work, the eighth grade teacher acting as principal. ln 1893! a high school was started and by 1999, when a three-year high school course was otfered, the teaching staff numbered twelve. ln 1999 a four year high school was formed, and fourteen teachers were employed, l'Olll' i11 high school work. At the time the high school inoved into its annex in 1913. teachers of music and physical education were hired for part-time work. Sin ce then the addition ot' instrumental music, agriculture. home economics, and industrial arts has added other teachers until 110w twenty-two nantes are on the roll. Our staff acts as one unit although for certain administrative functions the teachers are placed in grade and high school groups. Several teachers, as the list shows, serve both in the grade school and in the high school. Group meetings usually include all faculty niein- hers. Our faculty is very well-trained for a school of this size. Cooperation between the various departments of the school is excellent. After the faculty picture was taken, Mr. Simerl resigned and his place was taken hy Mr. Harold Hoinann, wh 1 came to us from Greenville in lfebinary, Mr. Charles llintehnann, a teacher in the junior high, also joined us in February.
