Pelladium ends NCA reports in Pelladium
Melody Van Zee reveals student and parent apathy toward weekly NCA report summaries in the Pelladium. After a survey shows responses like Not that NCA crap and What’s that the editor announces the end of the NCA summary, noting it was well intentioned but unread.
Industrial arts program at PHS reviewed by NCA team
A continuation of Pelladium’s summary details the North Central Association visit to PHS last spring. It notes a basic industrial arts program in crafts, wood, shop III, welding, plastics, and metal, with about 150 boys and 3 girls enrolled. Recommendations urge restructuring to yearlong, updating curriculum, and adding courses in electricity, electronics, graphic arts, and advanced metals while dividing auto mechanics and reducing woodworking. The report calls for better drafting and woodworking equipment, plastics expansion, more electronics trainers, and stronger ties between junior and senior programs, plus safety improvements and facility upgrades in the industrial arts lab.
