Juniors Scheduling for 2014/15 – Thoughts on Senior Current Issues

Juniors…

I know that you’ve begun your planning for your senior schedules.  I just wanted to toss my two cents worth into your decision making process.  I would like us to have a strong Senior Current Issues class next year.   A few things to think about when making your decisions on that schedule…
