We definitely changed over the summer. The corporation consolidated with Cass Township and is now called Tri-Township Consolidated School Corporation. We added an Animal Science class taught by Mr. Troxel and a Computer Aided Drafting class taught by Mrs. Westerhoff. Some of our Juniors and Seniors are participating in the Professor on Loan program with Ivy Tech. The program utilizes professors from Ivy Tech to instruct our students, which will allow our students to finish the year with twelve college credits. We continue to add to our Dual Credit programs and now offer Biology 2, Pre-Calculus, Trigonometry, Chemistry 2, US History, Speech, English and Government. We are also looking into the possibility of adding Spanish and Advanced Environmental Science to the list of dual credit classes we offer. By the end of the year we will have Juniors with 15 or more college credits. It is possible for a student entering LaCrosse High School as a Freshman to graduate with 33 college credits.
We made changes inside the building also. The biggest change is still in progress; the superintendent’s office will soon be housed at LaCrosse. We are currently in the process of converting classroom space into office space and hope to move everything at the end of September. We are looking forward to having the superintendent and his staff in our building.
The initiative we are focused on this year is giving all high school students take home computers. Our vision is that students would have a laptop to use throughout their high school career and they would be able to use the laptop in class and at home. We would also like all of our textbooks on the laptops so that the only thing a student would carry would be their laptop. In order to accomplish this our teachers first must be trained how to best use the computers in class. It will be a long process but we believe the technology will enhance the educational opportunities for our students.
Again, welcome back and I hope everyone has a great year.
