uccess: northrop students successfully compete with others She won this honor for going above and beyond the call of duty as many of the teachers and staff members do for their students. Mrs. Bourne went on to compete with other teachers in the statewide competition for Teacher of the Year. The goals of every secondary school should include providing an academic program which insures that graduates have every opportu- nity to succeed at the next level of schooling. Students at Northrop ex- cel academically and are able to compete successfully with gradu- ates from any high school in the United States. The highest accumu- lated grade point average ever achieved in the Fort Wayne Com- munity Schools was earned in 1987 by Northrop graduate Mike O ' Hear. Every year Northrop has many Na- tional Merit Semi-Finalists includ- ing two (Megan Brown, Mike Braun) in the 1987-88 school year. Two Northrop students (Valerie Pacer, Megan Brown) were also the only Fort Wayne students to receive the National Council of Teachers of En- glish Achievement Award for their excellent writing. Though Northrop is one of the two youngest schools in the Fort Wayne area, no school has won as many state championships, (contin- ued on page 6) After ending their slump, a group of proud Bruins celebrate tfieir 2219 fiomeconning victory over Wayne. pfioto Tami Clark WHAT ELSE IS THERE?
