Nome High School Will Employ
Guidance Counselor Next September
Conrad Potter, Superintendent
of Schools, announced that the
Nome Junior and Senior High
School will have a full-time
guidance counselor and testing
supervisor starting next Septem
ber.
The program has been develop
ed through special arrangements
with the State Department of Edu
cation and Director of Vocation
al Education. Under terms of the
agreement the state will reimburse
the School District 100 per cent
of the counselor’s salary.
In addition to this a special
guidance project is being pre
pared which will be submitted to
the Department of Education for
approval and when completed
will provide matching funds for
the acquisition of guidance and
testing materials. These projects
are approved by the state under
the National Defense Education
Act passed by Congress in 1958.
Potter called this new posi
tion “a tremendous step toward
helping our youngsters find their
way. They will be assisted in ap
praising their basic aptitudes and
potentials, given sound advice in
the pursuit of their academic
program, and will begin to re
ceive help and assistance in the
selection of a later vocation —
whether it is employment or fur
ther schooling.”
“The guidance person,” Potter
said, “will have leadership
responsibility in the establishment
of a complete guidance program
for the Junior and Senior High
School, he will conduct teacher
orientation workshops concerning

the program, and he will develop
a testing program at this same
level. He will also assist with the
annual elementary testing pro
gram.”
The person selected for the
position will need a master’s de
gree, a minimum of two years of
teaching experience, administra
tive ability, and a full education
al background in guidance and
testing. Several applications are
now being processed by the
School Board.

83 cents per student the first
year and less in subsequent
years.
