Learning is the most important face of Halifax County High School. Although it occurs in all school activities, learning is found primarily in the classroom. This comprehensive high school offers over seventy subjects in both academic and voca¬ tional areas. Here a student may learn to appreciate the art of salesmanship as well as the art of a Shakespearean sonnet. This year many students could elect three new courses, economics for seniors, a combination English and journalism for juniors, and Spanish for eighth and ninth graders. So that their needs might be better met, students were grouped accord¬ ing to ability in English and social studies classes. These in¬ novations, plus the strengthening of the regular curriculum, proved that learning at Halifax County was indeed the first and foremost concern. Phillip Roark explains a difficult solid geometry principal to the class. The math department at H.C.H.S. offers a variedprogramto the students. In addition to the more advanced courses, general math, business math, plane geometry, and two years of algebra are offered. 27
