Board Reviews High School Programs

Continuing a series of school reviews, Bronxville High School Principal Terry Barton gave the Board of Education and the public a comprehensive overview of school programs and services. He described the core subject areas, new electives, technology progress, and many features of the school climate and extracurricular/leadership opportunities. Barton stated, "Within a successful high school we all know that an important key to success is our faculty. Not only do we have teachers who have a tremendous command of their content area, but also we have teachers who care about students: Teachers make the difference. Relationships made during the high school years often prove to be long lasting and enduring."

Questions from the Board of Education focused on technology instruction and educational software, the role of colleges in improving our curriculum, extra-help opportunities, on-line courses, the daily schedule, and world languages.
