Classes prepare Neumann students The college preparatory classes here at Neumann really helped me in college classes. The note taking in Biology and reading assignments prepared me well for campus classes. One former Neumann graduate made this com- ment after two years at college. Neumann may not offer wide variety of classes but the classes they do offer really do a good job. The teachers at Neumann are in a class by themselves. They under- stand how active the students are and take into consideration the students' busy lives. The teachers balance out large homework assign- ments and leave plenty of time for students to do the best job possible. Students make time for academics although extra-curricular activities ore stressed a lot ot Neumann. Students realize that academics will get them through college and future life. 20 Academics Division
