Several elective courses have recently been added to provide for the needs of all students. These include Spanish, Peer Leadership, Measurement, Theatre, Advanced Art, Graphic Design, and The Internet. Deaf Studies are integrated into courses at the 7th and 8th grade levels with a separate course being offered to seniors.
All classrooms currently contain a networked computer with Internet access.
Two computer labs, The Interactive Technology Lab and the Model Classroom, are equipped with networked computers with interfacing to a SmartBoard for improved visual instruction. Videodisc instruction is utilized in all subject areas. The high school teachers have been honored for their creative use of technology in the classroom and examples of student projects have been presented at various local and national conferences. Parents, students and the local education agency are all required to work together in the planning of transitional activities for our students. Students participate in numerous activities in preparation for life after graduation.
