The language offerings which have long included Latin and Spanish have been broadened to include French.

For ex- ample, the senior student may choose between English Seven and Eight and Senior English.

There has been a continuing effort on the part of our students and teachers to be aware of the human needs and values. We realize that if our way of life is to survive we must be educated to live it as well as educated to protect it. To this end the social sciences strive.
