Rupp Principal Only 46 years ago, in 1911, Shaker Heights was a small incorporated village with a population of 200. Its citizens had inherited from their Shaker fore- runners a set of high ideals, among them an earnest zeal for the develop- ment of the mind, so, in that first year, these fervent inhabitants established a school-in the Van Sweringen real estate office at Lee Road and Shaker Boulevard. This institution boasted 26 students, four teachers, and a full cur- riculum. Today Shaker Heights, with its population of 32,000 and a school enrollment of 6,500, adheres to the same high standards in its educational program. The Shaker system, composed of twelve schools, values highly the development of each individual pupil. This presents a challenge-one which has been successfully met by means of small classes, 332 well-trained teach- ers, continuity of curriculum from elementary school through senior high, and an extensive testing and guidance program. Shaker, a college-prepara- tory school, sends approximately 901, of its graduates to an institution of higher learning. Therefore, it is of great importance that the students be stimulated to work to full capacity, that they be exposed to an enriched curriculum, one which emphasizes not only the basic skills, but independent thoughts and the acquisition of healthy attitudes and values. Shaker's suc- cess in fulfilling its aims is illustrated by our students' scores on College Board Achievement Tests, in each of the subiects tested, the average of Shakerites was notably higher than the national average.
