Showing God's Will or Their Lives Miss Phyllis Jones is the elementary principal at Tri-City. She is in charge of overseeing the curriculum, public relations, elementary discipline, and responsible for the fund raising projects of both schools. She has direct contact with the teachers in supervising and as- sisting them in achieving the fullest po- tential possible from their classes. Miss Jones believes her main objec- tive is to teach the child how to live and not just how to make a living. She wants to achieve more unity in the classes academically as well as spiritu- ally. As elementary principal, she knows that she is in the center of God's will for her life. As a result, this provides her to actively pursue Christian educa- tion. Above all else, she strives to im- press upon the students that God has a specific plan designed for their life. To be faithful and consistent in every- thing, everyday is most important. One must not compare himself spiritu- ally with others, but strive to be what God wants him to be. ve-s Miss Jones 15

Teachers Dedicated to Task As we look back on the seven years of history since the school was founded by the dream of E. Alan Cockrell, we realize that one of the main reasons Tri-City has grown into a widely recognized Christian school in the Kansas City, Raytown, and Independence area is due to the presence of the faculty members. They came here from all across the United States because of the high standards they set for themselves as teachers and Christians. They share a commitment to education and to the Lord. The high school this year is composed of fifteen teachers. All are dedicated Christians striving to let Christ show forth through their teaching, attitudes and appearance. As the school continues to grow, so does the faculty. it 16 Faculty fv,-pox -is-1. ,.- xy- Mr. Edward E, Buford Mrs. Marcia M. Buster Band, Choir Choir, Ensembles '4l-1- 'M y Mr. Dennis E.
