For students that are in good academic standing and have good attendance, there are some new courses being developed called "roads scholars" classes.  These classes are intended to give the students a hands on or first hand learning experience in a real life situation, one of which, the Formal and Business Dining class, is shown below in an early draft of the rubric.  Other classes include a camping trip, a water safety-CPR class, and possibly in the future, a winter safety class.   Other classes are currently in development as well.  Each of these classes are being presented to the student body as they are developed to test the students level of commitment to that class.  If the class goes well, then it will become an annual occurrence.  If it is not being accepted, then new classes will be developed and exchanged for the current class.
