A Time for Discovery As sophomores entering the Senior High School, we are searching for new outlets through which we can express ourselves. Hav- ing outgrown our roles as ninth graders, we are open to the new challenges and opportunities that the Senior High has to offer. Sophomore year begins a process through which we estab- lish ourselves as individuals. Throughout our Junior year, this process con- tinues. Having acquired a sense of belonging, we are able to establish ties with the people and activities that interest us. Involvement in the school activities enables us to express ourselves and develop our talents. The coming together of these differing aspects of our personalities will bring about a self-realization.

Am With the wide range of patterns of study, the curriculum at Sayreville High School aims to suit individual needs and interests. Within the confines of a particular course exist a variety of ways in which both teacher and student can tap creative inner resources and generate enthusiastic response. With guidance from interested faculty, students begin to define their academic inter- ests. This interest surfaces in the classroom through active participation and effort. The exchange of knowledge is not an end in itself. With insight, the gifted teacher sparks enthusiasm and teaches appreciation by giving the course relevance to today’s world. Learning is an interactive process through which both teacher and student contribute not only knowledge, but atmosphere, and occasionally lasting values as well.
