Diverse Classes Enrich Curriculum

Posted by Dr. Steve Buuck on Jan 23, 2020 10:45:32 AM

Why are the numbers 186 and 78 of interest to Faith Lutheran students?  Because this year high school students have 186 classes from which to choose, and middle school students have 78 classes from which to choose.  Each student only gets to choose 8 per year so middle school students get to take 24 of the 78 offered in their careers, and high school students get to take 32 of the 186 in their careers.  So many choices, so little time!

Digitized Teens Part 1

Posted by Sarah Harper on Oct 3, 2019 5:10:00 AM

When I was in middle and high school if a kid did something embarrassing during the day we all went home at night and forgot about it.  Today, students make a bad decision during the school day and it becomes digital fodder for an infinite amount of people…forever.
