East High School is full of many wonderful things: teachers, students, sports, and even clubs. But what happens when students don’t feel like their classes are worth learning? Students feel like they need more “life learning” classes learning about how to fill out taxes, checks, save money, how to lease houses and cars. At East, many students feel like they don’t learn these things. We do, however, have classes that teach these valuable life skills. Envision IT and Personal Finance are half- year classes taught by Ms. Gross and Ms. Gerritz. There’s even an exam that you can take after passing both classes called the CDOS. If you pass this exam it can replace one of your 5 regents for you to graduate. Many students believe they would benefit from these classes being full-year instead of just half-year courses. Also, some students can’t fit these classes into their schedule so they and up missing out. If you haven’t taken these two courses, you should see your counselor to make sure they can fit them in your schedule for next year. You definitely don’t want to miss out.
