W. P. RADNEY Assistant Superintendent Director of Curriculum The educational program at Orange Glen High School continues to expand and improve with the hiring of new staff the purchasing of new materials and equipment, and the building of new facilities. These ingredients are most important in developing an instruc- tional program of excellence for our students . New staff members as well as regular staff have had many opportunities for professional growth through additional graduate study, foreign travel and in- service training conferences at the local, county, state, and national levels. These opportunities help assure the student body of having highly competent instructors who are up-to-date on techniques and content in their fields. Special help has been provided stu- dents who are handicapped or have special needs, interests, and abilities. W These services will continue to be made available and we hope increased for the , . benefit of the students at Orange Glen High School . Added equipment and materials have been made available for use in the curriculum with the approval of several N.D.E .A. proiects. Increased effort will be expended in making financially possible, smaller class size, current materials, and con- tinued opportunities for the professional growth of staff. Students have shown by the results attained in the State Testing Program, that they have achieved above the State and National Norms in all areas of the curriculum tested. This, l believe, is an indication that staff and students are effectively working together, with excellent materials and equipment, in attaining desirable levels of competency in the various sub- jects offered . Efforts will continue to be made in the fields of employing a competent staff, acquiring the best materials and equipment available, providing for opportunities for professional growth of staff, and in assisting students in developing their talents in preparation for assuming their Full citizenship responsibilities in a democratic society.
