Reaching for the top The district reissued the Student Code of Conduct, which classified offenses and punishments. “It mandated what (students) can and can’t do, and the punishments are more severe than what they were in the past,” assistant principal Dwain Dawson said. Overall, students faced a more well- regulated education, oriented toward academics rather than jobs. But those at Skyline had the special benefit of choosing from a wide range of courses which allowed for an individualized education. A large number of clubs and extracurricular ac- tivities also provided an outlet for a number of interests. Of all DISD’s high schools, 2,182 trans- fer students chose Skyline, and of all the school’s offerings, each student found those which best suited him. People at Skyline could consider their high school experience on of the most unique of all—one for each of You, of All People. Spirit of success «OPENING

IN FUN Bussed around Hitting the books after a warm, relax- ing summer would be a shock to anyone’s system, but it was the typical September routine for students. Skyline opened its doors to tougher graduation requirements and higher expectations that made academic life more stressful. But students still found ways to have fun in the midst of tests, homework and rules. Dress-up days during the fall had stu- dents searching their wardrobes to create outfits for Trash-out Day, Mafia Day, Little Rascal Day and ’50s Day. In school, strictly enforced rules made life more regulated. Students waited until the 8:15 bell to go upstairs in the morning. Pep assemblies were more orderly than the previous year’s, but class calls were again eliminated for causing too much rowdiness. A new busing rule allowed buses only one stop besides at home schools. Many students drove to school, and parking lots were full to overflowing. While school life put pressure on stu- dents to do well academically, it also al- lowed them the chance to make new friends and enjoy social activities. And at Skyline, a school which draws students from all over the city, friendships and fun were special for all of its people. STUDENT LIFE Student life»DIVISION 7
