Students in the senior high start the day in their homeroom with
pledges, Bible reading and prayer. Their day then consists of six
periods, a morning break and lunch. Each period is fifty-two minutes
long. After the first two periods, there is a twenty minute morning
break. Students usually talk and get something to eat. This is
followed by two more periods before lunch. Students may bring their
lunch or support different organizations at the school by buying pizza,
nachos, and chicken nuggets on different days. After lunch there are
two more periods.
A typical day includes Bible, English, history, math, science, and
French. The English includes grammar, spelling, and world literature,
British Literature and American Literature. At least one
Shakespearean play is studied each year. The history may be US
History, World History, Geography, or current events. Math includes
Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra 2 and may include Advanced Math or
Business Math. Science includes Physical Science, Biology,
Chemistry, and Physics. In Bible class, students learn about the Life
of Christ, the Early Church, Old and New Testament characters and
memorize Bible verses. Computer instruction and chapel are usually
held once a week. Classes are rigorous and there is homework each
night.
The active sports program has volleyball, basketball and track for
girls and soccer, basketball and track for guys.
Students participate in major programs for Veterans Day and
Christmas. There is at least one major field trip each year. These trips
have been to Washington, DC and the Antietam Battlefield the past
two years. There is a party at Christmas and Valentine’s Day and
usually some bowling excursions. In the fall, there is a spiritual
emphasis week which has special chapel times and special times of
fun for the students. In the winter, there is spirit week when
students show school spirit by participating in different fun activities
such as Twin Day and Green and White Day.
At the end of each year, there is an awards ceremony recognizing
those who have been on the honor roll, maintained perfect demerit
records, and kept perfect attendance. Seniors graduate at a
ceremony at the end of the year, and a Valedictorian and Salutatorian
are named.
