Public education has not escaped this change. Our schools are becoming larger, more complex, and unfortunately more im- personal. We need to make efforts to per- sonalize education and help the student establish a home base within our schools- a place where he feels he belongs. The homeroom can become this home for students. Each student will have an op- portunity to relate to a significant adult and a group of significant students for the entire four years of high school. Student govern- ment, intramural competition, a big brother- big sister concept for new students, orien- tation program and other types of activities can be initiated through the homeroom period. The homeroom period can also provide some of the needed guidance and ad- ministrative services such as registration for next year's classes, schedule changes, college and scholarship information, career information and various other guidance func- tions. The more complex or individualized situations referred to the counselor assigned to that particular homeroom. Introduction-7

Instant radio communications keep the security guards informed on what is happening throughout the school. Within the Phoenix Union High School System security guards have reduced nighttime burglary to over 851 across the district during the first three quarters of this year. 1-v Z' . t Y 6-Introduction

Trevor G. Browne is de- signed to be a community school. It is involved with the whole community. lt includes a required and optional school program. The required school program is only for students who are required to attend school and take classes required by the state. The op- tional program not only in- cludes high school students, but the residents of the entire community. An important part of com- munity school is the city park between Trevor G. Browne and Estrella Junior High. This is for the use of the entire com- munity, anytime day or night. Even though it will take seven years to be completed, it will include tennis courts, a baseball diamond, an archery range, swimming pool, lagoon and amphitheater, and a picknicking area. Completed so far are the tennis courts, baseball diamond, and the light fixtures. lVlr. Don Cline, Community School Director, and lVlr. Mike Whiting, Recreation Coor- dinator, have a joint respon- sibility for scheduling school and park facilities for after school activities. 8-Introduction .uconwnunhy school 2 f 1 l . 1 5 i l 1 wwf I-axon fl. time 'he f' +5 K , 3' V .-t.-t.
