Educate a child According to his way

A message from our president . . . Our school is continuing its growth both in numbers of students and quality of edu- cation. We can boast of a staff which is dedicated and extremely well qualified. The future looks bright for the Yeshiva. In order to attain the goals which the Ye- shiva set out to reach, we need the contin- ued cooperation of the parents, students, and the community. We desire to develop a graduate who is comfortable and knowl- edgeable in the secular and Torah world in which he or she will live, and a graduate who can gain admittance to the finest col- leges in the country and be firm and secure in his religious and cultural heritage. One should not have to be subordinated to the other. Our students represent a broad spectrum of backgrounds. Russian and Iranian new- comers are well represented at the school. Some have had little or no Hebraic back- ground. We have students from strictly ob- servant homes as well as those from less observant homes. We feel that the school can have an influence on all of our students sufficient to guide them along the path of halacha, both in knowledge and deed. The studies made recently by Jewish communal organizations prove that Jewish education is the cornerstone for the future cohesiveness of our people. The leaders in Israel concur with these findings. We have our obligations to see to it that the Yeshiva High School of Atlanta shines as a beacon of Torah ideals and goals for our entire community. Mr. George Kaplan
