Special Needs Program At North Attleboro High School we try to meet the needs of all our students, and this is why we have a Special Needs pro- gram. The students in this program need more time, patience, and individual atten- tion, which is given to them by specialized teachers. These teachers not only educate students in their academic work but also teach useful skills such as cooking, sewing, ironing, and cleaning. The students have held some social events with the help of their teachers. One of these was a Christmas dinner party where parents were invited. The end of the year was also a busy time, with a Mother’s Day plant raffle and a paper drive to raise money for the Special Olympics.

Computer Program The Computer is an often-unappre- ciated asset of North High. It prepares the school’s daily attendance list, prints out report cards each quarter, tabulates results of town elections, and does the town’s payroll. Computer programming is a growing field in business and science. The courses offered at NAHS in this field help enlighten students to the growing possibilities of working with computers in the future.
