The philosophy of the district has been to implement a strong emphasis on basics as well as offer- ing a variety of courses vvhich were developed to benefit all students. When the yearly moans and groans from students vvriting research papers are heard, it is music to the ears of the public vvhich deplores the poor vvriting skills of today's student. l t is impossible to count the number of students vvho return to thank the school and administration for giving them a good foundation.
