In addition to the many fundamental courses offered at West Vigo, there are various elective subjects which help create the well-rounded student. The students not only have the op¬ portunity to learn academic subjects, but they may enroll in classes which accentuate their individual abilities . Such classes include: art, chorus, journalism, and the sciences. Many of the students who are interested in these courses and take advantage of them go on to base their careers on them after graduation.
