Homer S. Nightingale — Superintendent, Washington Local Schools - The Board of Education members, who are elected for four-year terms, employ Mr. Homer Nightingale to administer their plans for our school system. The board must consider the needs of one senior high school, two junior high schools, and eleven elementary schools. By looking ahead, it was able to plan for two elementary schools which will be opened in the next two years to meet the growing en- rollment. To keep the high educational standards which it sets, the board employs nearly 350 teachers for the 9133 students currently enrolled in our schools. In addition to the regular public school pro- gram, summer school and adult night school sessions are held. The post of assistant superintendent for instruction, held by Mr. Jack Meade, was created to help with the administration of the Washing- ton Local Schools. 4 ‘

A familiar sight to both school bus riders and sports followers is the rear entrance. Here buses load and unload daily, and spectators enter the building through the field house lobby. Seasonal beauty enhances modern design. Several years ago our Board of Education saw the growing need for a new school building and in March, 1957, passed a resolution to build a new high school. In September of the following year, formal ground-breaking ceremo- nies were held, and construction was started on the three and one- half million dollar school. Year- round crews worked to complete the building in time for its Septem- ber, 1960 opening. The school’s modern facilities include an audi- torium with 1500 seats, three gym- nasiums, a student activities room, a 7588 volume library, and a cafeteria which seats 600. This year our building houses over 1600 students. Gracefully curving sidewalks bend toward the main entrance.
