This, we feel, has helped us build on the strengths and the wis- dom of our entire student body, staff, and parents. The future of quality education at our high school will con- tinue to solicit participation and co-operation from all facets of our community. With this approach, all things are possible. FRANCIS C. GREGORY Principal 22

Alex L. Palandech Assistant Principal Dr. Alex Palandech Dr. John Parrish ,. .vm N ..,.-?..., . Spirited and zealous, these adjectives accurate- ly describe the trio of MHS leaders: Dr. Francis Gregory, principal, Dr. John Parrish, assistant principal and Dr. Alex Palandech, assistant prin- cipal. Together, these three men have effectively executed thejob of keeping the MHS ship afloat, and well established in the community. Through their close work with students and a personal relationship with all, the efforts of our administration allows one truly to say that at Miraleste, all things are possible. The most important aspect of a student's high school experience is his participation in the ac- ademic curriculum. This year we have attempted to enrich this experience through the introduc- tion of new elective courses in English, history, art, technical arts, and homemaking. From a concentrated effort of evaluation, we plan to expand and improve what we feel have been beginnings of a new and more challenging direc- tion in curricular planning and development. John S. Parrish Assistant Principal Administration
