Driver Education
Driver Education is a one semester course with one half unit of regents
credit. The course is divided into lecture and discussion classes and driving labs. The goal of
both our class and lab is to learn to extend our Christian testimony into our driving by our
attitudes as we interact with other highway users. We discuss the biblical perspective on alcohol
and how it relates to driving. All of the above is interwoven with defensive driving techniques
that will help the students become safer drivers as they gain hands-on experience driving on a
variety of roads and in differing traffic situations.

Yearbook
This course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and ability to
assemble a yearbook from start to finish. Page layout, picture taking and cropping, copy writing
and editing are thoroughly covered. There is typically a staff of six or seven editors who are
responsible for each section and are usually seniors. The remaining staff works in one or more
section under the guidance of these editors.

Computer Science
The computer science class seeks to instruct students in fundamental
computer terminology through the use of a variety of software programs and computer hardware.
The class seeks to help students identify and understand the advantages which computers allow,
while warning them of the dangers inherent in electronically stored information. The course
covers concepts like spreadsheets, databases, graphical design, hypertext document creation and
elementary programming.

Word Processing
The word processing class provides instruction in the elements of proper
keyboarding (touch typing) as well as formatting techniques used for a variety of common
documents. The operational controls of the ClarisWorks word processing program are learned.
The students write research papers to discover the importance of ergonomics and to better
understand the differences between modern word processors.
