Now she keeps atten- dance in order with a logical mind and still manages to maintain a sense of humor. Gray ' s ambitions reach higher still. My responsibilities are to guide each student to become an efficient member of our American democratic society, Gray ex- plained. Harrison began a as history teacher. Today she holds the title of registrar, helping students to plan class schedules that will meet their educational needs. I got into admin- istration because I enjoy planning, or- ganizing, and imple- menting new ideas and programs. Sev- eral of my personal and professional strengths or abilities were best suited to administrative tasks, Harrison said. Both assistant principals agreed that being a female gives them same amount of respect as the male prin- cipals receive, illustrating how far wom- en in high places have come.
