Nova ' s Top Four This school is run by four very im- portant men: Dr. Joseph Appel, Su- perintendent of the Shasta Union High School District; Mr. Don Demsher, Principal; Mr. John Bun- ton, Vice-Principal; and Mr. Mike Martin, Dean of Students and Head Counselor. Dr. Appel doesn ' t work at Nova but at the district office. He is the super- visor of all five of the high schools in the Shasta Union High School Dis- trict. The five schools are Nova High School, Shasta High School, Central Valley High School, Enterprise High School, and Pioneer High School. Mr. Demsher is the principal of Nova. He is responsible for deciding what classes will be available each year and what the requirements are to be able to take each class. He su- pervises all of the teachers and other staff. Mr. Bunton assists Mr. Demsher with all of his responsibilities, along with being in charge of discipline. He tries to stop problems before they start. Mr. Martin is the Head Counselor and Dean of Students. He assists Mr. Bunton with discipline. He also has some activities of his own, such as Leadership Day. This is Mr. Martin ' s first year at Nova. We at Nova should be very grateful that we have such a wonderful ad- ministration who cares about what happens to the students. 98 Administration

The secretaries and para-profession- als at Nova do many good things for this school. The school could not run without the secretaries. The secre- taries gave out bus passes, put no- tices in the school bulletin, sent call slips to students, took phone mes- sages for students, enrolled new stu- dents, kept track of appointments, and took care of visitors at the school as well as all their other responsibil- ities. The secretaries include two sec- retaries in the main office, two in the counseling center, one in the atten- dance office, one in the health clerk ' s office, and the school typist. The para-professionals worked very hard this year also. They assisted teachers in the classroom, helped students to learn, and corrected pa- pers so that the teachers would have more time to spend with the stu- dents. The teachers who had the benefit of a para -professional said it made their job much easier. A Helping Hand 100 Secretaries
