Some teachers didn't like pigs or snakes. Mrs. Donna Pritchard had a problem with cats. She said, I hate them. I'm seared of them and they know I'm deathly afraid of them because they always bug me. Advantages and disadvantages aside, pets must have been a relief to the teachers after they got home and away from all the brown- nosing at school. F . swf?

Alter three years, any teacher can earn tenure. But in the schooI's it history, only 22 teachers have progressed from Four years is the typical term spent in high school. However, many people stayed for seven, even ten years!

The school's population increased greatly over the next ten years. The increased number of students and staff means we don't know each other as well as we did during the first years said business coordinator Mrs. Alice Hinton. For better or for worse, people change with the times. Teachers viewed these changes over the past ten years as worse than when they started. Some teachers thought it was lack of discipline and work on the students' part. Students show less respect for adults, more apathy about school and school activities. They are also less interested in academics, said Mr. Gary Alexander. When these teachers first applied, they were looking for more than just a job. Many were excited about the possiblity of beginning a school. I wanted to see a dream turn into a reality, said counselor Morgan Graham. The reality may not have been what these 22 teachers expected when they started teaching, but all shared the pride in the school's growth.
