During the first three years, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors were required to take courses in basic English. Seniors then had options to choose from class offerings such as film study, reading and discussion, Shakespeare, career English, and journalism.

Health class was taken two semesters during the sophomore year. People in health learned about such things as body functions, personal care, nutrition, alcohol, and drugs. Classroom driver education was also offered. High school students have varied health interests, but surveys regarding these interests show that they also have many problems in common. Most Benson Tech students were concerned with having a background for adequately meeting their personal and community health problems and were interested in having help to solve problems.
