STUDIES CENTER (3976-3978)
Elective –9, 10, 11, 12
Credit .25 – Semester

Available in our Developmental Studies Center are opportunities to sharpen your study and testing techniques in subjects requiring reading, spelling, writing, math, and critical thinking skills. Each DSC student works with a mentor teacher to improve organization and study skills. Students with special learning needs receive an Individualized Education Plan.

Also, juniors or seniors may participate in a program, “Survivor in College.” Each student individually contracts to come to the Center for a period of time (usually during a study hall) to work on specific skills required for taking PSAT, SAT, or ACT tests and achievement tests.

Materials used vary according to each student’s needs, but all will have access to a variety of reading materials, taped presentations, and computer programs which aid in increasing reading efficiency.

Placement in the DSC requires approval of your Guidance Counselor.

PEER MINISTRY
Offers the opportunity to serve other students as a helper in a “Good Samaritan” fashion. Students will help freshmen adjust to high school, introduce transfer students to CLHS, and listen to students in need of a friendly ear. Peer ministers also perform service activities in the community. Students must undergo a training session (weekend) in order to qualify for this activity and must serve for a class period during at least one semester during each year. Applications for training are available from the Director of Guidance and must be completed and signed before a student can list peer ministry service work on his/her schedule.
