Mid-Prairie Tracks Curriculum and NCA Evaluation
A team from the North Central Association will visit Mid-Prairie Junior High November 21 to 23 to assess admission to the association. Staff committees studied curriculum and facilities, guiding future improvements. The district expands offerings at the high school with architecture, eight industrial arts subjects, practical math with calculators, and physics using Project Physics materials from Harvard. Drama debuts with two one semester courses and a "Pygmalion" production set for early November. The note concludes that curriculum changes reflect ongoing district evolution rather than stagnation.
