In its academic program, the school serves a large section of North Knoxville. Other students come from all over Knoxville, Knox County, and ad- jacent counties to enroll in the vo- cational program. Whatever the needs of the stu- dent, he can find a program here. Three programs are offered: college prep, general education, and skill courses leading to gainful employ- ment. Three full-time counselors offer a variety of services to the student including career counseling, testing, counseling in personal problems, and help in obtaining college schol- arships. For the student who desires to combine his studies with a part-time job, three choices are offered. The distributive education class is open to seniors with jobs in retailing. Advanced vocational students may co-op in their major field. Students in any grade who need to work may choose to enter the general co-op program. Participants in all three classes receive grades from their employers. The vocational improvement and the vocational redirected programs provide remedial services for voca- tional students who need help with their classwork. These two services and the general co-op class are funded through state and federal programs. Honors courses in American his- tory and American government chal- lenge the above average student. Additional honors work and more independent study are being de- veloped. ACADEMICS 23

College prep curriculum offers wide choices About 45 per cent of the graduat- ing seniors will go on to some form of higher education. For these stu- dents a full program of college preparatory subjects is offered. The wide variety of electives in English and social studies give the student a background in literature, composition, history, political sci- ence, psychology, and sociology. Students may also elect three years each of science and math and up to three years of French, Latin, or Spanish. Those who desire to take a com- bination of vocational and college prep courses may do so through careful planning of their schedules. Two librarians and a library clerk are available to help students find materials for special projects and research. A continuing goal of the librarians has been the addition of new volumes of reference materials as well as records and filmstrips. 24 ACADEMICS
