He taught at Hinckley Elementary School for two years and at the high school and Granger for two each. Then he became princi- pal at Hinckley, where he stayed for eight years. Most recently Mr. Clevidence was curricu- lum director in the Brunswick City Schools. This year his responsibilities are Federal programs, checking on buildings and grounds, and the transportation of students to and from school. 13

Administration and the Board of Education The job of the Highland Board of Education is to determine the guidelines followed by our four schools and to regulate the finances of the system. Because of added funds from the state this year, they were able to expand the size of our staff, thereby providing our students with a better opportunity for individualized instruc- tion. The connecting links in our district were Mr. Vermillion and Mr. Clevidence. They worked in close contact with both the board and the admin- istrators of each building, who in turn conveyed information to and from the community and our faculty. Mr. Vermillion takes a perceptive look toward the Board at a Monday night meeting. 12 Highland’s Board of Education at work.

His innovative mind and determination sparkled others to the “chal- lenge of change”, so that we worked together to bring about many successful alterations of vital school operations. Mr. Brenner’s headquarters were located in our newly named Unit Office, which served as a contact center between students and adminis- tration. His position as Unit Principal involved the organization of our daily school activities in addition to the supervision of the extra-curricular activities.
