Look At IM Mrs. Laura Couture, one of our new co-principals, lias been in our district for five years. She was the principal at Hudson Park hlementary. There are some similarities between being a princi- pal at a grade school and a high school. For instance, establishing a budget, talking to parents, and certain duties that have to lx done at any school. The main differences are the students and the program.” said Mrs. Couture. “The main benefit of being a principal is the involve- ment with the Students. Whether someone is in trouble and needs help, or excited about something, it is neat for me to know that I have had something to do with it. she commented.

She feels that not a lot of people recognize this, and she gives most of the credit for the school being neat to former principal and vice-principal. Stan Peerboorn and Larry Wallace.
