Reaching fer ... Higher Aspiraticns The 1983-84 school year has been a year of change for Bartow High School. Students came back to school this year facing mass renova- tion and new requirements for graduation. It took a small amount of adjustment, but with a little time, BHS students were ready to face the challenge of a new year! In July, 1983, Senator Curtis Peter- son introduced the RAISE Bill (Raise Achievement in Secondary Educa- tion) to the Florida Senate. This bill, which calls for stiffer graduation re- quirements, will take effect in 1984, and has affected this year’s juniors in many ways. In order to graduate in 1985 and 1986, all high school students must: successfully com- plete a minimum of 22 credits in grades 9-12; four credits in English, three credits in mathematics, three credits in science, and three credits in social studies. An even bigger change occurs to those graduating in 1987. All students must have ac- quired 24 credits in grades 9-12 to receive their high school diploma. In addition to confronting new re- quirements, BHS students have had the difficult task of adjusting to the renovation process taking place at Bartow High. Students have learned to attend class in portables and to share lockers as a result of the shortage of space. Teachers have also learned that teaching in four dif- ferent classrooms can be quite in- teresting! Despite all those factors, however, BHS and its students have survived. We have reached an even higher rung on the ladder of success. 1. A typical renovation site at Bartow High. 2. Our busy Key Club president takes time out to do library research. (Tim Gibson) 3.
