To oversee this vast undertaking, the Board of Trustees chose Mr. Charles R. Eilber. Under the guidance of the newly appointed director and Mr. Borden Mace, Dean for Institutional Advancement, the faculty and the rest of the administration were carefully selected. Mrs. Ola Stringer began the meticulous admissions process, as renovations were begun to prepare for the coming of the students. Over 900 students applied to be members of the first class of NCSSM, and 150 sophomores were painstakingly selected. When the students arrived in the fall of 1980, a new page was written in public high school education. The early months were eventful, as the first 150 juniors adjusted to life in a newly-born school.

Elements When I glance at the school around me, I see some land and buildings, and people scurrying about, those who administrate, direct, teach, and attend. In looking at the sum of the components, the school does not seem like much, but in actuality, it is much, much more. What makes the school special is the people. All of those involved with its conception and realization have, perhaps, a clearer vision now of the future and their dwn duty. What I see is grand. I see an institution established to aide in better education for those talented youths, moti- vated to serve not only themselves, but the state and the nation, through the medium of tomorrow ' s technology. This vision is not my own. Alone I did not conceive it; rather I shared in it. It is a part of the spirit within all associated with the school, and it gives meaning to the effort. The school is yet young. No doubt the vision and the reality will adapt. And no less deniably it will be the human element which will fuel this growth. — Sarah Krigman, senior 11
