The larger percent- age of students selecting math and science courses shows that MHS students are keeping step with prog- ress. Math and science programs are also advancing. Last year’s PSSC physics class was so successful that all the classes are being taught according to the recommenda- tions of the Physical Science Study Committee. Math teachers are trying a new experiment with honors classes on a college level. Two new math teachers and a science teacher are welcome additions to faculty members trying to pre- pare MHS students to take their place in the modern world.
