Students in science seminar construct individual proiects for Science Day, a city wide science exhibition. A superior The Superior and Talented Program at McKinley is designed to meet more fully the needs of those students who have the ability to excel in school work. The students are motivated to meet the chal- lenges presented in courses which have greater depth or acceleration. The students enrolled in this program must meet more exacting requirements and produce a higher level performance. The program also attempts to motivate all qualified students to continue their education beyond high school. The program includes courses in English and math- ematics, along with science, mathematics and cul- tural seminars for seniors. Since the students are selected for these courses, the course content and rate of development can be keyed for expected superior results. The criteria used for selection rating was won by Beverly Mutu, Antoninette Firrarello, and Rosalie Haney. Mr. Rohrer was in charge of the seminar. were: Election by teachers, classroom performance as indicated by grades, attitude, achievement levels and general capacity to do superior work. Plans for the future will be influenced by chang- ing needs and may include more areas, changed course content, different subject areas, and a vari- ation in selection criteria. Many regular courses which have been in the course of study for a long time have been selective in a certain sense. All students cannot and should not attempt to pursue such courses as senior level mathematics, physics, advanced modern language and other academic courses. By the very nature of their scholastic requirements, these courses are selective and have a relationship to the Superior and Talented program at McKinley High School.
