Administration focuses on community involvement, redcdication to original goals This year, for the first time in the history of Lakeridge High School, the top four administrative posi- tions remained unchanged. Principal James Schell finished his third term at the school and had only praise for his administrative colleagues and the students. Also working out of the main office were Vice-Principal Galen Spillum and Deans Gay Schroeder and Lee Knight. Advice and appro- val for activities, back-up support in all events involving the school, and evaluation of teachers were a few in a long list of their responsibil- ities. Curriculum changes, such as the addition of sociology and a health education cluster, were made after administration review and ap- proval. Taking up a great portion of the administration’s working hours was the unheralded job of budget- ing. Mr. Schell stressed the impor- tance of this job. They were forced to shuffle the curriculum to insure the best possible courses within the limited budget. Coffee sessions were new to the program, with administrators meet- ing with parents in their homes. These informal meetings allowed for a successful exchange of ideas that enhanced the involvement of par- ents in the educational process.
