7-V S' ff I, Q2-QSC Increased graduatnon requnrements approved by the School Board The faculty and administration have come to recognize Jenkin- town s small size as an academic ad- vantage. They take pride in the standards set for the students and strive to increase and better the cir- riculum - an action intended pure- ly for the benefit of the students. rectors is involved with increasing the graduation requirements to above the state minimum. What is happening is that certain courses once catagorized as electives will become required. Jenkintown stu- dents will have to take a full year of social studies in the junior and senior year instead of a half each year. Courses in the Arts and Humanities will be necessary to meet the gradu- ation requirements' so will an extra half year of English and an added Math and Science credit. So what advantages are in this for the students? No it does not have to be considered as more homework and effort. Instead it gives the Jen- kintown graduate an extra plus. A head start in high school obtained by taking a wide variety of classes will futures. The real work in carrying out a new plan lies on the faculty s shoul- ders by keeping the established cur- riculum strong while initiating new courses. But it is doubtful that Jen- kintown s staff will view the added workload in a negative way. Their reputation of.dedication to the stu- dents will unquestionably prevail as will their continuous effort and en- couragement.
