Paris Board Of Education ■I Dr. David Gover, Superintendent; Mr. Wayne Stocker; Mr. Thomas Skeen; Mr. Elwood Park- er, Vice Chairman; Mr. James Coons, Chair- man; Mr. Robert Wilkerson Providing an educational program for the com- munity is the only reason for the existence of the Board of Education. Without this program all of the efforts of the board, the administra- tion, and the teachers would be wasted. The board is composed of five elected members as designated representatives of the community with the responsibility to provide local control in the policy-making and supervising authority for the community’s schools. A successful and effective board requires specific, dedicated, and cooperative effort on the part of each individual board member with the total commitment that no one may be excluded from the opportunity for an education and that the better the educa- tion, the better the citizen. The future of our community and our nation is dependent upon our abilities to put children first in the develop- ment of fundamental needs and with God’s help these goals will be attained. Mr. James Coons, Chairman Mr. Gene Wright Director Of Pupil Personnel 19

Mr. Homer H. Goins Principal, Paris High School I accept the exciting challenge to be the principal of Paris High School during the eighties! Paris High School, with- out a doubt, is the BEST high school in the state of Kentucky. We have much for which to be thankful for in our school system. We have, for the most part, good con- scientious students, excellent faculty and dedicated secre- taries and janitors who work together as a team. We pledge to continue upgrading academics, speech, band and var- ious clubs as well as athletics during the next year. I would like to issue a challenge to our students and staff, to give their BEST for themselves and Paris High School during the coming year. As Rosey Grier said, “You can never fail if you never quit.” We at Paris High School will not quit — we will succeed in offering a quality education for all those students who earnestly seek the better things in life. Mrs. Helen Swinford Secretary In the business world and in pro- fessional fields, the secretary is an essential link in the diversi- fied daily activities of American enterprise. Her contributions are many-sided and range from han- dling routine procedures to im- plementing management deci- sions. She is, in every sense, an asset. Mrs. Alma Boardman Secretary 20 Administration
