In January the school system will finish up the first semester of block scheduling at Kings Mountain High School and McRae says he has had only good reports of progress since the new curricu- lum was implemented this school year. "Our teachers are working real hard to do a good job in the class- room and we are seeing the results of students and teachers working together," he says. McRae called the school year 1994-95 "very progressive" for KM District Schools and says he is encouraged by the progress on test results and for the safe comfortable environment that students feel at school. This is the first year for a re- source officer at the high school and McRae says that Ptl. Maurice Jamerson has a good rapport with the student body and the program is working well. Parent involvement is on the in- crease at all seven plants in the sys- tem and McRae applauds the input of parents in the educational pro- cess.
