Making

Grades

he heart of any school is its aca-
demic successes. CHS is the
proud home to many AP classes, a
National Merit Scholar (Matt
Blackie), Bright Futures and Voca-
tional Gold Seal winners, and indi-
vidual honors that earn students
thousand of dollars.

FCAT and HSCT testing prep has been the primary
focus of this school year but a lot of class time is spent
on achieving excellence in classroom work, Science
Fairs, essay contests, and group work. Seniors toiled to
complete their Senior Projects. Taking notes, outlining,
memorizing, individual investigations, all combined to
give student's a good education. Daily activities like
reading the newspaper, discussions of current events,
silent readings, and the five paragraph essay writing
were all part of a rigorous program to educate students.
Many seniors were admitted to college as a result of
making top grades and scores on ACT and SAT. The
future is bright and those who choose to do their best will
be bright stars in the history of Columbia High.
