As one walks through the halls of Wellesley High School, a lone figure can be seen running here and there, someone who is obviously busy with a million things to do. This figure is our new principal, Susan Sellers. It’s a curious thing, though, that no matter how many things she has to do, she still has time to stop and chat, to give a wink or a smile, or just say hello as she darts by. The main goals of Miss Sellers during her first year are clear; to maintain the quality education that has characterized Wellesley in the past and to provide a complete education in which the emotional level as well as the intellectual is challenged and encouraged to grow. In the future, Miss Sellers hopes to establish a successful and smooth transition when we become a four year high school in the next two years. Miss Sellers loves her administrative position, (“It really challenges me, it gives me a chance to be both a business manager and an educational leader.”) but her first love is teaching and she hopes to teach a class on the modern family next year. “Nothing can compare with the emotional gratification I receive from teaching,” Miss Sellers states, and judging from her warm and kind personality, one must believe she’ll do a fine job. The transition from her position at Reading High School to Wellesley has been a demanding one for her. At first she was a little homesick, but after the first few months she states, “I really feel at home now at Wellesley High School and I can’t wait for each new day to begin.”

Academics — Sapphire The well-known academic reputation of Wellesley High School is one of excellence in its various fields. In fact, two years ago, WHS was rated as one of the top ten schools in Massachusetts. This is a direct result of the interesting programs, excellent stu¬ dent teacher rapport, and the sense of competition embedded in the students, which come as a result of the superior academic atmosphere. Through the superb academic programs, the minds of WHS students are strengthened over a three year process. As graduating seniors, the Class of 1982 left WHS with minds prepared for the world of work, college and reality which they would have to face. The academic programs of WHS had helped to further the process of preparing the minds of the graduates for this transition. Seniors in the library.
