Through the one hundred and forty-six years of Woodward's history, there runs a continuous thread of devotion to the memory of its founder and to the ideals of loyalty to country and to the right of an individual to pursue an education. The Woodward Spirit has survived changes in character and scope of the school - from its origin as a free rammar school, to a public igh school; then to a cosmopolitan high school; then to the six- year combined junior- senior high school; then to a com rehensive high schoo 9 thru 12h to a six-year combined junior- senior high school with two alternative programs as of today he J'Woodward Spirit'l focuses on the very heartbeat of what's going .

May I follow-up with some ideas. Woodward's student body, staff, alumni and parents have been in the process of evaluating and establishing goals and ob'ectives or our total sc ool community. In order to complete this task, objective data was assembled from two evaluations. Following this accomplishment a report was submitted to our Board of Education and a Long Range Planning Committee was organized to prioritize recommendations. The committee report made two recommendations. The first was that a reading and a math lab be placed at Woodward to pursue a competenc - based concept. he second was that the Cincinnati Academy of Mathematics and Science iCAlVlASi, an alternative program, be transferred to us since there is the common interest in the same subject area. The recommendations were known commonly as the Woodward Proposal. We received apgroximately $270,000 to egin the pro osal. The initial step wit the competency-based concept in reading and mathematics is to change a traditional program to one which is more nearly tailored to individual needs. In September 1977, all ninth graders will be scheduled into our reading and math labs for two quarters each. Other students will be scheduled upon recommendation of faculty. Our ultimate goal

Steve Ranker, Assistant Principal Henry Wehrheim, Assistant Principal Howard Hottenstein, Assistant Principal Eugene McDowell, Assistant Principal by 1979 is to identify sFecific competencies that a I students must accomplish in mathematics and reading before they are allowed to graduate. An alternative program tCAlVlASl emphasizing mathematics and science was transferred to Woodward High School in April 1976. Since its transler the student enrollment has more than doubled in the CAIVIAS program. The purpose of CAMAS is to provide enrichment in mathematics and science in order to develop writing and reading skills as related to all subject areas. In addition, identification of students who have the potential and capabilities to pursue an engineering career is stressed. The future of the program at Woodward seems promising. On Science items selected from the National Assessment of Education Progress tests, CAIVIAS students scored above the national sample on twenty- six of thirty-one items. Further, students participated in the National Science Convention, National Council of Mathematics Convention, University of Cincinnati Science Fair, and Miami University Science Fair. There has been an upgrading of our vocational Erograms. Facilities have een remodeled to accomodate them in the areas of Business, Home Economics, Drafting, and Occupational Work Experience. lwish to express my gratitude to all who have contributed to the success of our programs. NORMAN BOLDS, PRINCIPAL
