i > 2 ‘The Dallas Post Dallas, PA Wednesday, December 21, 1994 New L-L superintendent installed with high hopes By GRACE R. DOVE Post Staff any Lake-Lehman residents, students, teachers and friends turned out December 19 for the installation of the district's new superintendent, Jackson Town- ship resident Dr. William Price. ALake-Lehman graduate (Class of 1957), Price has taught social studies at Dallas and Wilkes- Barre, where he was also depart- ment supervisor, and history at Ring s College. “For the past 19 years he worked at Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18 and also taught graduate courses at College Misericordia. Price was sworn in by the Honorable Hugh Mundy, judge of the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. In remarks provided to The _ Dallas Post, Price said the Ameri- bl can educational system must be "revitalized. . “Educators must use all of the district's resources to the fullest extent, to bring new inspiration and meaning to a school's daily life,” he said. © Without a vision of revitaliza- tion, Price said the schools will become satisfied with mediocrity "and reinforce the status quo in- ‘stead of changing to meet the + community's needs. “My personal vision of educa- tion involves what might be, what » could be and what should be, not the projection of what will be,” he said Learning must become life-long and adaptable to the practicali- ties of life, Price said. The school must become a community of * learners, where teachers like what . they are doing and students want ‘to learn from them. Price believes that education lacks humor, an essential ele- ment in learning, the develop- ment of intelligence and the qual- ity of life “Humor can make learning fun rather than punitive,” he said. Teachers and administrators must develop personal visions of education in order to improve the DR. WILLIAM PRICE schools and themselves, rededi- cate themselves to the profession and recommit themselves to the teaching and learning process, he said. “Without a vision the people will perish,” he concluded. School board president Jeffrey Fritzen's prepared remarks de- scribed Price's “strong background in curriculum,” which Fritzen believes will provide important leadership to meet the needs of the 21st century. “We look forward to the guid- ance which Dr. Price will bring to our district,” Fritzen said. “We know that he is here for the long haul and will weigh all his deci- sions knowing that he will have to live with them for years to come.” Middle school principal Robert Roberts, Lake-Lehman Education Association president Barbara Wall, search committee member Alex Covaleski and student coun- cil president Allison Milunic were scheduled to offer remarks wel- coming Price to his new position. Music was provided by the high school brass ensemble and high school and fifth grade choruses. After the ceremony a reception was held in the cafeteria. N.E.
