GIVING STUDENTS AN INCENTIVE Jenkins High School added a new assistant principal this past year, Coach Turp Spear. Mr. Berksteiner and Mr. Jackson returned to add their experience to the remarkable administra- tion team. Coach Spear brought athletic coach- ing experience and a willingness to help to his new position. He was in charge of books, clubs and their activities, and the discipline of 9th and 11th graders. Mr. Berksteiner was responsible for keeping 10th and 12th grade students in line. Mr. Jackson was in charge of the busing situa- tion and parking lots. All assistant principals found their jobs challenging and rewarding as they were responsible for keeping students in school and giving them an incentive to learn.

HELPING STUDENTS TO HELP THEMSELVES This past year Jenkins offered several pro- grams in special education. PVT (Pre-Vocational Training), headed by Mr. Mills, prepared the special student for finding a job in which he felt comfortable. SLD (Specific Learning Disabili- ties), designed to help students deficient in math or reading to handle high school subjects, was coordinated by Ms. Chaney. Ms. Shernoff headed the BD (Behavior Disorders) depart- ment in its objective of helping the student labeled a behavior problem to function in any situation. In-House Suspension, founded on the idea that the student deserves a second chance, allowed students to stay in school rather than be suspended. Coach Cadson was the coordinator and Ms. Burnsed his able assis- tant. These programs were successful because they reached the students on a personal level and gave help where most needed.
