SUMMATECH Summatech is a four year science math technology magnet designed for students who want an excellent preparation for higher education and an outstanding background for technology related careers. Summatech first accepted students in the fall of 1982. There are currently 220 students enrolled in the program. First year Summatech students study limnology, the study of fresh water, along with math, computers, and drafting. Second year Summatech students study energy, along with math, electronics, and computers. Third year Summatech students study systems, along with math. Fourth year Summatech students have more of a choice. They can take advanced placement chemistry or anatomy physiology, independent projects, science technology society. Summatech students have a unique chance in giving input on how their program is run. The advisory gets together to disucuss ideas and suggestions that the Summatech students bring up. They are usually ideas of fun things to do and suggestions to make things better. We try to think of fun things like parties, field trips, etc. So we don't think of Summatech as all work and no play. The advisory meets every Wednesday during lunch in the technology center. SENIORS 8UMM ATECH TEACHERS. Front row: Eleanor Matsls. Aletha Halcomb. Rebecca Scott. Linda Lalne. Back row: Donald Luebeck.

Fundamental Magnet The Fundamental program is one of the many alternative programs at North. The program is a lot different from the other programs. There is a written contract each student and parent signs at the beginning of each school year. The program is dedicated to the concepts of scholarship, courtesy, respect, responsibility and citizenship. The teachers keep a conductive atmosphere. Teachers and parents expect good academic performance, proper behavior and excellent attendance. Each stu- ■ mm Juniors MJkkl Davis, Rachel Breedlove, and Michelle Clabo in English class. dent is expected to be in class on time. One of the differences in the program is the parent-teacher contact. The teacher makes sure the parent knows when a student misbehaves, or is not doing his work. The teacher also calls home to report good news. There is also a lot more homework in this program. Even though the teachers are strict, they are fair. All they want is the best for each student.
