Computers, speakers, field trips liven up classes Somewhere amidst the confusion of participation in extra- curricular school activities, athletic practices, part-time jobs, and household chores, every student found the time to attend the necessary, but often monotonous, classes. Yet Haltom broke away from the usual process of education in several ways. Computer programs offered a new learning tool to students who took chemistry, biology, or mathematics. In many classrooms, new desks, chairs, and tables provided the student with more comfort and a new atmosphere in which to learn. Guest speakers sparked interest and more field trips gave students a broader knowledge of the subjects they studied. , As a result of those improvements, the average SAT score of Haltom students proved to be higher than the Texas average, as well as the Birdville district average. Also, Haltom installed 67 members, one of the largest groups in Haltom's history, into the National Honor Society.- ACADEMICS
