Evaluation Report
Is Termed 'Good'
A copy of the A.S.H.S. evaluation
report sent by the evaluators from
the Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools recently ar
rived and was termed “a good re
port” by Principal H. T. Webb.
The evaluators recommended sev
eral changes in the school, some of
which the faculty were aware of the
need for. An identical copy of the
written report was sent to the N. C.
Committee of the Southern Associa
tion, where it will be acted upon for
the purpose of re-accrediting A S.H.S.
Many of the evaluators made ex
tremely favorable comments concern
ing the school. One stated in his
report: “The over-all school program
affected me favorably, and I ^as
much impressed by the attitude and
conduct of the students and the en
tire schc»ol process which I had the
opportunity to observe.”
Another evaluator stated: “There
is ample evidence of pride and loyal
ty to the school.”
Favorably impressed by the stu-
dent-teacher relationship, a commit
tee member remarked, “The rap
port between teachers and pupils
seerns excellent.”
“This is a strong school with a
capable faculty, new facilities, and a
wholesome environment for learn-
inq;,” was the appraisal of still an
other evaluator.
The committee members ended one
evaluation report with this com
ment: “The committee feels that the
over-all administrative set-up in this
school and its day-to-day operation
makes it a most effective institution
for carrying out the purpose and
programs of the school.”
