INTRODUCTION

This Program of Studies is published to provide students and their parents/guardians with a description of the high school academic program. Students and their parents/guardians are urged to become familiar with this guide so that they will be prepared to choose a suitable educational program. The administrative staff, guidance staff, and all teachers are available to assist the student and his/her parents/guardians in this planning.

The counseling staff provides personal guidance for each student in the junior-senior high school aiming at the development of the "whole" individual. To help mold each person's intellectual growth, the counselors identify individual capacities through a standardized testing program. The test results are used in guiding the individual to make the best use of mental, physical, and manual abilities. The school program includes offerings to help meet the needs of all students.

The guidance program is devoted to helping each student select the courses and programs best suited to his or her own strengths. As a result of the proper coordination of high school courses and activities, the student can then make appropriate selections for post high school training. Vocational counseling is approached with the student's abilities and limitations and interests in mind as well as information on current occupational trends.
