Our future is built on the founda- tion of learning. Seemingly useless knowledge we gain today could prove to be very important tomor- row. The academic program we set up for ourselves in high school points us in the direction our lives will take in the years ahead. Tippe- canoe Valley High School offers something for every academic need. A college prep program is offered for those students who intend to fur- ther their education. Many agricul- ture classes are offered to young men and women interested in farm- ing, and future educators often take an exploratory teaching course. Computer science is an intriguing field and many students are drawn to programming classes to satisfy their curiosity. A business co-op plan has been established for ambitious young business students, and an intensive office lab prepares those who will seek secretarial jobs. Our fine new principal is always ready to lend a hand to any student in need, and he is backed by a helpful group of ad- ministrators and counselors. Teach- ers too, dedicate much of their time to the individual attention of stu- dents and to making classroom life not only educational but enjoyable. High school academics give us our foundations. It is up to us to build upon them. 29
