2 THE GRANTONIAN February 14, 1969 Teachers migrate to Adams New school airs philosophy by Debbie Rovech “There are more teachers com ing from Grant than from any other single school in the city,” announced Robert Schwartz, who will be principal of John Adams High School when it opens for the first time in Sep tember. Seven of our faculty members were granted a transfer to Ad ams. They include Edward Bas- araba, Allan Davis, George Flit tie, Robert Gerber, Eugene Kaza, Parimaz Marsubian, and George Zahn. “Every time a new school opens in Portland, every teacher is invited to re quest a transfer,” informed Mr. Schwartz. “Roughly 150 applied . ? datll erme ó DRESSMAKING - ALTERATIONS 1724 N.E. 40th Ave. AT 2-1587 to Adams, and we interviewed them'all,” he added. Adams will operate on nearly the same principle that two-year-old Jackson High School does. It will have four houses (Jackson has two) which will each hold approximately 250 stu dents. Two teams of six teachers each will instruct in each house, fcvery team will have three experienced teachers, and three less ex perienced ones such as interns and student teachers. Students will spend one-half of the day with each teaching team in the house, studying Eng lish, social studies, science, and mathematics. This will be a gen eral education program which will be in effect for at least three years. Mini-courses, such as have been offered without credit at Wilson High School, will be taught for credit at Adams. Also, in an extension of STUDIO the work-experience program in effect in Portland high schools, students will be working for community agencies. “We’re hopeful that students will de velop and teach courses for credit,” related Mr. Schwartz. Mr. Gerber will hold the position of activities- direc tor, and will especially con cern himself with student government and “in seeing what kids really want to do.” Mr. Marsubian will head one house. His position is termed “curriculum asso ciate.” Mr. Davis is set to head the automotive shop, one of six shop areas. Mr. Flittie and Mr. Basaraba will be leaders of teams. Mr. Zahn will teach on a team one-half day, and teach science the other half, and, according to Mr. Schwartz, “Mr. Kaza will be Mr. Kaza,” with the mu- sic department. In August, Mr. Schwartz and three other people came to Port land to lead the planning of the Adams program. They had done graduate work together at Har- vard University. They are: Mrs. Patricia Wertheimer, who will head the guidance department; Allen Dobbins, who will be a curriculum associate; and Dr. John Parker, who will coordi nate teacher education. Also, David Wienecke, who is vice principal at Madison High School, will hold the same po sition at Adams. The planning and program ming of the Adams project will culminate in September when about 1040 freshmen, sopho mores, and juniors enter the school which cost “just under $6 million to build—including equipment.” It sounds like our halls won t be so crowded next year.
