Academics is defined as The body of courses of- fered in a school or in its departments relating to liveral arts, technical and professional studies. At Wichita High School Northwest the definition of academics was expanded and enlarged into course curriculum that allowed teachers to work closely with students, guest speakers to promote course interest, students to work closely with fellow students and field trips to teach subject matter on a first-hand basis. The academic learning process was not limited to a 55 minute class hour. Teachers worked with students desiring additional help during the noon hour or before or after school. The Media Center was utilized by students for extra research and last minute study time before an exam. With 164 different courses listed in the enrollment book, students found it difficult to make it through the year without having a schedule full of informative and productive classes. With the help of the counselors, the students chose classes ranging from calculus to advanced placement English and from music to physical education. Courses available were designed to meet the individual needs of the students in their preparation for college or the world of work. Academic excellence was evident through the number of honors and recognitions received by Northwest students. Contests, college bowls, debates and various other forms of competition gave students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability in the academic area. Northwest's reputation for academic excellence has not changed - it's growing. Academic 38 ' Academics A Repumrion Tim! 'J Growing cl ..ii in K f in N. a w
