New scheduling techniques are a challenge
This year, there have been several changes in the way the students are scheduled for next year. The biggest change has to be the way students are put into classes for next year.
In the past, student grades 8-11 have filled out their schedules, and then the counselors put them into classes by hand. Not anymore. In the 2012- 2013 school year schedules are being figured out by computer this year rather than individually by hand.
“The way this system works is that it tries to put you into the class you want in the period you want,” said high school counselor Brandon Crowder. “This way, if too many students want a certain class and certain period, and you cannot get into that class period, it will put you in another class period that is more suitable to your schedule by creating a new class.”
This new way has disadvantages, though.
“Of course, if not enough people want that same class, we may not be able to put you in it,” said Crowder.
Many people may thing that this way is easier than the other way, but it is not.
“It has been challenging,” said Crowder. “This is new to us, and we are learning along the way.”
Hopefully this new way of scheduling students for the new school year will proof to be more efficient and helpful than the last.

Photo Show Recap
On Wednesday, May 2, several students involved in high school art and photography classes, had their favorite works presented for other students and visitors.
The students’ photography could be sold for different prices but the artwork was not sold. All money raised went to the student except for one dollar off every photo which went to the journalism department.
“It is a good feeling have my work presented, and when people compliment me on my work. My favorite part is talking to people about my work, and seeing what other kind of things people like to see photography of,” said sophomore Breanna Daughtery.
Students who presented artwork are as listed: seniors Alleigh Becht, Zach Bradbury, Alexa Brewster, Jeff Eads, Alexys Gillespie, Rachel Manship and Ashley Toliver. Juniors Ivy Basinger, Jonathon Cook, Breanna Daughtery, Tyler Line, Kennedy Nelson, Brianna Phillips, Taylor Samsil and Stefany Waynick. Sophomores Hannah Balsmeyer, Riley Balsmeyer, Emily Condra, Natosha Deweese, Lily Eubank, Dylan Lowe, Nikki Mitchell, Collin Patton and Meghan Richardson.
Students who presented photography are also as listed: Advanced photographers, Seniors Jerica Goodpaster and Kelsey Stouse, juniors Breanna Daughtery and Tessa England, and sophomore Morgan Babcock.

Class of 2012 Honors Night
“In the fall of 2011 Paoli High School senior, Alleigh Becht, was commissioned for a piece of art representing the history of PHS. No deadline was given but I provided the artist with the following request: ‘This piece of art should honor our school’s rich history over the past half century, including people who have dedicated their lives to educating the children of the community.’ The result is nothing short of amazing.” –Principal Casey Brewster
Please join Paoli students and staff for the unveiling of
50 Years of Learning, a beautiful mural honoring people and activities which have shaped our school and community.
