Classes Over The Years

From 1962 to 1966, all of the classes were pretty basic. There was math, science, language arts, social studies, fine arts, music, English and P.E.

In 1968-69, the day went from a six-period day to a seven-period day. Classes were 47 minutes long, breaks were five minutes long and lunch was 50 minutes long. There were many classes, some of which were new. The students had reading, shop, speech, music, science, math, social studies, foreign languages, home economics, journalism, health, P.E., art, English and drama.

Between 1969 and 1971, more classes were added. These classes included algebra, wood shop, biology, crafts, and power mechanics. In 1972, some classes were discontinued (foreign languages).

From 1976-77 classes were math, algebra, social studies, French, 8th grade P.E., speech, English, drama, history, Spanish, science, girls' P.E., wood shop, crafts, health, art, drawing, power mechanics, home economics, guitar, band, journalism, and outdoor education.
