FMC LUNCHEON The annual FMC Breakfast that has been held at Nitro for several years was a great success during 1987. This occasion is a time when faculty, city officials, and FMC employees have a chance to enjoy a time to socialize. They learn more about the Partnership in Edu- cation program that the high school and FMC have which gives students the op- portunity to learn more about chemicals and how the company works. Thanks to all who had a part in set- ting up and making the Breakfast a great success. Mr. Wilkes scans the cafeteria during the FMC Breakfast.

Faculty 23 Although school for many students is mainly a means of socializing, academics are a large part of what goes on inside its confining walls. Nitro High School offers several different classes con- cerning a wide range of areas, english, math, sci- ence, social studies, art, and music. Students at Nitro celebrated academics as a way to show off their individual achievements. As few suffered from test and trauma of all-night cramming, many found that working hard in class was a way to excel. Students entered art competi- tions, participated in school sponsored talent shows, and scored high on achievement tests. Teachers and students alike worked hard to make Nitro High School one of West Virginia’s Ex- emplorary high schools. All at Nitro would agree that academics are what school is all about.
