yum:- The current trend in education is towards giving every student an equal opportunity for learning.

Students dash headlong toward their classes ready for another day. A typical morning at Big Sky Highschool. Academics played a vital role in the lives of students. This year was a markedly different from previous years because teachers crack- ed the whip harder than ever to stress the im ff portance of learning. That meant getting back to the meat of education. In Missoula, that trend has existed for several years, ln 1983 the Northwest Evaluation team commended Big Sky for its excellence. Additionally. administrators have added graduation re- quirements in several curricular areas. Principal Darlene Smith said improvement is important. What makes a school good is the degree of improvement. The difference between a good school and an average school is that one moves forward while the other stands still. This year Students realized the importance of studies and grades. Senior Brent Schneeman said he takes school seriously because, I feel that a good education is necessary for a suc- cessful life. School provides this and broadens my horizons. Senior Michelle Potter said, I realize a good education is becoming more and more important in the job market. Students polled by the Sunrise said the average time spent on homework a night was two to four hours. The situation at home reflects national sentiments. Big Sky stands very well on a national level because it is a school always on the move. said Smith. X. Qtirwraise --he ,gf i f. s l .. 4 i it 'Ji' Af- ...v- x k Z A. .,,.
