Three years of Social Studies — Civics, U.S. History, and Problems of Democracy; three years of English— English 1,2, 3, 4 plus two semesters of electives; two years of Mathematics; one year of science; one year of Physical Education; and a minor (two years) in any field of the students choice — business, home economics, industrial arts, foreign language, etc. A semester credit is earned by receiving a passing grade in a class. A total of thirty-seven semester credits are needed for members of the classes of ’85, ’86, ’87 to graduate. Members of the class of ’88 need thirty-eight credits due to the increased emphasis on scholastic achievement. Members of the class of ’88 now have an option, they can take classes that apply toward an aca- demic diploma. The academic diploma included all the class needs for a regular diploma plus an extra year of Social Studies, English, and Science plus two years of foreign lan- guage while students maintained a 3.5 average overall.
