ADIVIINISTRATICN To educators throughout the state of New Jersey, the Thorough and Efficient Program incepted in 1976, the Graduation Committee Report of 1977, and the Adoles- cent Education paper of 1978 have meant a return to the basics for most high schools. The state board of education received 2 sets of recommendations from the task forces that produced these papers, the establishment of stronger requirements for graduation and for basic skills testing as a prerequisite for grade promotion. According to the graduation guidelines proposed by the task force, students are asked to share in the responsibility of their own education while being soundly advised as to graduation requirements. Recommended courses of study include four years English, 2 years of computational mathematics, 2 years of social studies and history, 1 year of science, 4 years of physical education and health, and 1 year of fine, practical, or performing arts. In order to graduate, a student must successfully pass a basic skills test, in minimal reading writing and computational skills. If a student fails the tests, remediation programs are available. Except for thelbasic skills test, local school districts are encouraged to determine learning standards for their area secondary schools. These needs may vary with en- vironment and individual circumstances. This implies that a tightly-knit set of decision- makers should function at the local level in township boards of educations and school administrations. This is one of the prime functions of Mr. Jackson, our principal, Nlrs. Moreman and Mr. Dowling, our assistant administrators. They also are responsible for disciplinary action within the school. The administrative sector of MHSS is dedicated to providing a quality education and a secure productive learning opportunity for each in- dividual student. f' .4 5 . - . g -gg, . ' N .
