iPhones, netbooks and hybrid cars are just some of technological innovations that have come about in the past decade. Technological advances that have become so commonplace in the past 10 years could not have even been conceived of in the '90s. The school has also experienced changes in these past years and many teachers who have been teaching here since the '90s can recall a simpler time when the school only owned three computers total.

As planned, the six new classes offered this year are AP Computer Science A, AP Environmental Science, Japanese 3 Honors and three new Media Arts Program (MAP) classes: advanced digital animation, filmmaking and multimedia Journalism. The students, teachers and staff involved are excited about the new class offerings and are expecting this to be a rewarding experience for everyone involved.

“The new classes have been a very welcome addition on campus,” said assistant principal Brian Safine. “We have students who are pursuing their passions in [these classes].”
