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.
