I graduated in 1983 with a graduating clas of ~310 students. We had a principal and one vice-principal. That was it. Of course we had a couple of guidance counselors and there were admin secretaries, but not scores of them. When I visited my HS website a while back, there are now a couple of principals, a multitude of vice-principals for different things, there are deans, assistant deans, guidance counselors, career counselors, life counselors, speech counselors, et al. Shit, there are so many superfluous admin positions that I am amazed...or aghast. The union has ensured a steady growth of "gimme" jobs that don't have a damned thing to do with education.

The local high school here has an FCCLA club.
