ADMINISTRATIG The 1983-84 school year was one of monumental changes for the entire school system. Dr. E. E. Brickell, Superintendent, had a Curriculum Development and Assessment Team study Virginia Beach City Schools. The results were made known in the spring of '83, after two years of meetings involving parents, students and educators at every level. ln the fall of '83, Dr. Brickell was very busy with the changes coming about within the system. He feels Virginia Beach City Schools are Good as the Best and Better Than the Rest. It would seem that he, too, is Reaching Beyond the Horizon! The chief purveyor and promoter of excellence at IJHS is our own fine principal, Mr. G. B. Shields. This year has seen him totally involved in all walks of school life and certainly has brought spice and variety to our daily life at IJHS. Mr. Shields graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with an A.B. and a lVI.Ed. in Education. He com- pleted his C.A.S. in Administration from Old Dominion Univer- sity. On a clear day, you might find him reading a good book. By his own admission he has a keen interest in global politics.
