The breadth and scope of grade 9-12 course offerings made available to
Bruce High School students during the 2008-09 school year would be
considered comparable to offerings found in high schools with student
populations of comparable critical student mass.
During the 2008-09 school year, Ladysmith-Hawkins School District
employed an eight period schedule with a period length of 47 minutes and
passing periods of 4 minutes. School hours extended from 8:15 a.m.
through 3:30 p.m. Course offerings were typically designed on a semester
or year-long basis.
The Project Consultants studied the Ladysmith-Hawkins High School and
Health Care Academy 2008-09 Course Description Book to understand
the breadth and scope of course offerings which would be made available
to grade 9-12 students in Ladysmith-Hawkins High School during the 2008-
09 school year.
