that you will increase your understanding and develop a willingness to wrestle with difficult, new problems. Your success in courses in the natural and social sciences will depend on your proficiency in algebra, functions, and graphing. Science: The natural sciences explain, predict and sometimes control the processes responsible for phenomena that we observe. Much of what we know today originated in questions posed by scientists. Those questions have also led to technological advances in all fields and these are occurring at a rate almost beyond belief. A strong foundation in science is a critical pillar in an individual’s education. While two (2) credits are required for graduation, it is recommended that most students consider taking three to four years of High School science. Fine and Performing Arts: The Fine and Performing Arts enable you to explore the world through art, music, dance, and drama. You will be exposed to the thoughts, ideas, feelings and emotions expressed in the artists’ interpretations of the times in which they have lived and the events they have experienced. You must obtain at least two (2) credits in Fine and/or Performing Arts. Computer Studies: Information Technology competency is required to facilitate the work you will be expected to do within the classroom. This includes the ability to use the computer for word processing, database design analysis and programming. 7
