small town IG SCHOO Students find plenty to occupy time during high school days Studying. Practicing. Cruising. Athletic Events. Dances. McDonalds. Convocations. Clubs. Movies. School activities outnumbered community activities by a two-to-one margin. This made our community a big school surrounded by a small town. One could say NCCHS is a big school because of being a member of the North Central Conference or because of being a AAAAA school, but the real reason is because of the students and the staff, said Assistant Principal Don Geozeff. They have pride, they achieve in so many ways — they have heart. The school offered a variety of activities to its huge enrollment of 1059 students. The activities offered ranged from art club and athletics to VICA and YAC. The school offered approximately 140 classe s taught by 76 teachers that used the most up-to-date methods and equipment available. NCCHS offers a quality program of instruction, taught by a well- trained, experienced staff, commented Assistant Principal John Newby. for our size we offer a diversified curriculum which is second to none. Students spent their time out of school exploring New Castle, a small community of 20,000 people. Students enjoyed cruising on Broad Street, gathering with friends at McDonalds, or enjoying a pizza at a variety of locations. New businesses that opened included Hills, Taco Bell, Little Caesars, Ball Stores, McQuik ' s Oil Lube, and Family Dollar. Senior Valerie King summed up the feelings of most students by saying, Although in New Castle you can only do so many things before you ' ve done it all, my friends and I usually found something to do to overcome boredom.

sm ll town IG SCHOO Big school blends with small town giving everyone unlimited choices In addition to conducting many activities within the school, students and staff interacted within the small town. First, the United Way drive turned out to be a hugh success as numerous teachers and administrators cooperated peacefully with the authorities that hauled them off to jail. The National Honor Society helped cheer up the less fortunate with their annual toy drive. Finally, the Christmas buffet brought the school and community together for an enjoyable dinner. With a school as big as MCCHS, students and staff expected changes on an annual basis. The most noticeable change centered around the organization of the school day. School started at 8:00, ten minutes earlier than last year but ended at 2:50, five minutes earlier than last year. Some students found it hard to adjust to the time changes. 1 had to reevaluate my old morning schedule, including time for driving to school. Since the bus schedules are the same, I had new bus routes to work around, said Michelle Hultema, senior. New teachers patrolled the halls and tried to put their education to good use in teaching the students. The school board hired a total of 8 new teachers to fill spots left vacant. Each year new teachers add new ideas, new approaches to old problems. Their fresh perspectives and enthusiasm are important ingredients in the total success of the year, commented Shirley Carmony, head of the English Department. Students will always remember, as graduates do, that this big school gave them their start for a life in this small town.
