A PROLOGUE

When educators struck upon a concept of secondary
school Jearning for development of the "entire person,"
they cut out a gargantuan task for themselves. In many
ways it meant breaking with the past; and yet it meant
also to assimilate proven methods of the past with
techniques of today. So much does Hart High attempt.
Education at Hart is not geared for the specific; it's
not geared for the gifted child only, not for the retarded
child only; nor is it geared only for the varying middle
degrees.
It could not be geared for any one of these and still
aim at education of the entire individual and the whole
population. Rather must it be geared for all of these
phases.
The following picture-story of learning at Hart High
is a report to the people of the district. The material
herein attempts to show how Hart High is concerned
with education of the youth in this area, education for all
the youth, a program meeting all its needs.

Hart High is not unique in what it offers, not better
, or worse, perhaps, than other high schools across the na-
tion; what is unique about Hart is the development of
these many and varied offerings in a relatively short
time. The school is young and accomplishment thus far
is great.

And this uniqueness is to the credit of the district
residents, for it is they who have made possible such an
institution for their sons and daughters, for the future
sons and daughters of this area.
