Students will have some new classes to choose from for next year. Almost every department has a new offering.
In Social Studies there will be two new courses added: Military History and AP American Government.  Teachers surveyed students about what new courses they might be interested in and  Military History seemed to be a favorite, so that was added as well as the challenge of another AP course.
Mr. Henderson, from the music department, is offering a new percussion course. Students have been drumming in music theory class and Mr. Henderson noticed there was an interest in taking a new percussion course, thus the addition here.
Ms. O’Connell from the language department is starting French VI, which is a study of business French and Francophone Humanitarian organizations, which will allow students to continue with French throughout high school.
The Science department has a few new courses as well. There will be a Science research semester as well as new Anatomy and Physiology and Upper Valley Geology courses. There will no longer be a Contemporary Physics class, the research semester will replace it.
The English department has restructured courses as well. Freshman classes will remain the same, but Sophomores will now take a new course, European Literature rather than American Literature. American Literature will be moved to the Junior year. Next year’s Juniors will have the choice of World Literature or AP English. Senior electives remain for now but in the future there will be a Multi-Cultural Literature Course.
It will soon be time to pick courses you might want to check out one of the new offerings.
