The Black and Gold 1975
In an effort to establish a good teacher-administration relationship, coordinating committees were set up by new principal Mr. Young Yee Ko to alter many policies.
Committee members included the vice principals, registrar, counselors, department heads and the principal sought ways to improve communication and set up definite policies. An important line of communication was established in which teachers talked over their concerns with department heads who, in turn, discussed them with the coordinating committee members.
Teachers made up subcommittees that investigated registration, attendance, disbursement of carnival funds, class schedules, unwritten rules and regulations, activities and school policies. Teachers were also kept busy advising classes, clubs, and organizations, sharing knowledge along the way with them
Expanding their constitutions to include more staff members, the MHS Teachers Association (MTA) was active, planning social and fun activities to enhance school life. They had an aloha committee; new and student teachers received leis, and cards and flowers were sent to the sick from the MTA. Other activities included outings, dinners, a carnival project and the annual picnic.
