Curriculum Trains tor Present, Future Miss Laura Thornhill’s Latin Class is typical of all C. H. S. classes Culpeper High School opened its 1951-52 year with two objectives in sight: (1) To help each student grow in understanding the rights and duties of a citizen in a democratic society. (2) To help each student prepare himself to earn a livelihood suitable to his interest and abilities. In order to reach these goals, three courses of study are open to all students. These courses which are designed to cover the educational needs of boys and girls of today are College Preparatory, Commercial, and General. Although each of these plans of study differ from the others, there are certain basic requirements which all pupils must meet in acquiring sixteen Carnegie units necessary for graduation. These minimum requisites for graduation are four units of English, two of mathematics, one each of civics, United States history, and science. Elective subjects, chosen by the students according to their courses of study, are taken to supplement these essentials. The school year is divided into six six-week periods. Tests at the end of each six weeks determine one third of the monthly grade. An honor roll list is compiled at the end of each of these periods for all those students who make no scholastic grade below “B” and no conduct grade below satisfactory. Culpeper High School employs a point system which serves to prevent pupils from engaging in so many extra- curricular activities that their academic work suffers. Membership in the various clubs counts a certain number of points according to the club, and offices in these organ- izations count an additional number of points. Students are limited to a specific number of activity points according to their scholastic record, thereby keeping a proper balance between studies and activities. The school has a Code of Ethics, known to all students, and uses the pledge system during examination periods. 12 }
