Mod Scheduling Nurtures Growth Independent Study time allowed students to explore all the resources the school had to offer. Students branched out by receiving extra help from the math office, searching through the Career Center or just sitting on the benches talking over the weekend news. Whatever, we were learning. Jefferson met the needs of all different kinds of students through its Deaf Education Program, STARR (school within a school), accelerated courses like American Studies, and extra-curricular activities such as sports. Jefferson attempted to give each student a fertile environment in which to learn and grow. Some students grew farther and faster than others — a few students decided to grow later in life, but most students grew as rapidly as they could reaching and striving for excellence.

Student Life Heading for Uncle Sam’s on Sunday nights, cruising by Mac’s, attending the Sadie Hawkins Dance, or encountering a friend at school were part of a student’s social life. School was not simply a place for learning the basic subjects, but a place to learn about people. Students achieved this through the activities that went on at school and in the community around them. Activities such as the Homecomig Dance, watching the school musical, or having lunch with friends were ways of branching out. By branching out to these new experiences, students learned the importance of friendships and a social life. 6 • Student Life
