One of the electives we have at JEH is cooking. Along with learning about budgeting for food and nutrition, students experiment with a wide variety of dishes. Now that we have a kitchen, the students can cook the food right here instead of preparing it at home and having to bring it in for evaluation. We have all of the same requirements as Cloverdale High School with the exception of electives. CHS requires 95 while JEH requires only 50.
Electives are any subject that the student chooses to take beyond the required courses.
A student can earn elective credit in any required subject once they have completedd their required credits. In addition to earning electives by completing more than the requirement, we also have elective projects. Electives are designed for students to earn credit while learning about a skill or topic in which they have an interest. We try to go on as many field trips as we can afford in order to help the students gain an appreciation for learning. Some of the field trips we have gone on in the past include The San Francisco Exploritorium, The SRJC Planitarium, Real Goods, and The Lake Sonoma Fish Hatchery, Luther Burbank Center for the Arts.
