A language class called English as a Second Language, commonly l-znown as ESL, was at Evergreen for it's fifth year. The ESL program at Evergreen started at Highline High School but transferred to Evergreen in 1982. The ESL program vvas designed to introduce the students to the English language, culture, and education. The program was designed to help them adjust to the different language, and it also gave them ia chance to practice their native language. Most of the ESL students came from Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. But there were also students from China, Korea, and the Phillipines. Mr. Gaul and Ms. Schaeffer, vvho were the ESL teachers, taught the subjects of language arts, reading, and composition on three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced.
