Is it because the students at Classical can receive a diploma without earning one? Certainly not. Ninety-five percent of Classical High School’s students are enrolled in the college preparatory program. The C.P. course prepares students for college by requiring that students take certain courses. Also, a student may not pass any of these courses with a D grade or lower. If Classical has so many require- ments, why is it the obvious choice among many high school students? Sharon Leidhold felt it was because our school “is considered the best high school in Springfield to prepare a student for college.” Another stu- dent thought it had to do with the foreign language courses offered. “I wanted to continue my education in French for a few levels higher than what the other high schools in the city offered.” When Andrea Owens was asked why she chose Classical over other high schools she replied, “I planned on going to college, so | needed the closest thing to college that | could get.” Along the same line, another Classical stu- dent pointed out, ‘I knew that I wanted to go to college, but I also knew that for my future career | didn’t need a definite concentration in mathematics, science, or ste- Thomas Davis 135 Commonwealth Avenue Cross-Country, Track, Wrestling Deanna M.

Students chose Classical because of the collegiate atmosphere it provides. Classical tries to simulate the college work schedule; for example, giving students a heavy load of homework every night, having students prepare term papers, and giving mid-terms and Classical also has many advanced placement courses. Classical offers trigonometry for those who excel in math, or would like to enter a math field. A.P. English and A.P. History for those students that excel in the arts, and A.P. French for those that are above average in French. Classical is actually the best high school in the city. Congratulations seniors, in making the right choice and picking the best high school in Springfield — Classical. You have taken your first step towrd success. ° Anthony V.
