Evaluation Report Suggests Improvement March 5, 6, 7, and 8, the evaluation of Hobart Senior High was in progress. The North Central Association spent the week observing classes and inspecting facilities and programs to provide advice to better the school. The 17 members also spoke with administrators and students of Hobart. The committee feels that emphasis should be placed on budget distribution based on departmental needs and specific programs. Perhaps, as was also stated in the report, more defined functions for departmental chairmen could influence teaching and more efficient utilization of school resources. The committee suggests that our staff and students also make greater use of the cultural and educational institutions in the area. A general observation, that staff morale and enthusiasm is better than the self-evaluation reports, was mentioned and the committee is confident that in the next several years, Hobart High will maintain its reputation of excellence while becoming a more comprehensive school.
