The Black and Gold 1977
MHS Aims for Individuality
The school year as one of many changes both internally and externally. With the back of district exceptions and the development of rural areas came the decrease in student enrollment, from over 2400 to 2299, but still making McKinley one of the largest public high schools in Hawaii. The decrease was also responsible for the loss of two teachers.
Campus security was increased with the hiring of two campus security aides. Acculturation counselors were also available for immigrant students.
Permanent chain link fencing was installed on the campus bordering Kapiolani Boulevard during the summer of 1976 for the State Farm Fair, annually held on the school grounds. It provided a restraint to students and trespassers alike.
The appointment of a new DOE superintendent, Charles Clark brought more change to the Hawaii public school system, one of which was the 30-hour school schedules. The number of credits required for graduation was raised from 18 to 21, beginning with the graduating class of 1981.
These events signaled changes now, and those yet to come, thus focusing on graduating high school students proficient in language arts, math and science and generally well-rounded as individuals.
