Last September South Side began making its preparations for the North Central Evaluation Committee. They are a group of educators who go around to different schools to make sure they meet the standards to be an accredited school. The NCEC comes to South Side every seven years. Before the NCEC came to South in April, the school went through a rigor- ous program of self-evaluation. Mrs. Jeanette Rohleder, guidance counselor, was head of the steering committee, which guided the various departments and committees. Two committees were formed to get an overall view of the school. The school and community committee, chaired by Mr. Ralph Bol- ing, assistant to the principal, examined the students and the community in which the students live. The other committee was the philos- ophy and objectives committee; Mr. Thomas Gordon, guidance coordinator, was the chairman. Faculty, parents and students worked on these committees as well as on the departmental commit- tees. After they evaluated themselves, the committees decided what South Side's strengths and weaknesses were and submitted their findings to the NCEC, The NCEC also did its own evaluation in its four days at South and then gave suggestions on how the school could eliminate its weaknesses and improve on its strengths. The whole evaluation process took much effort, thought, and co-operation on the part of the faculty, students, and parents. 20
