Academics
As in the entire Everett School District, students must complete a scholarly paper, an autobiographical paper, and a senior project, then present the above to a panel of staff and community members in order to graduate. Everett High School offers Advanced Placement classes in English, math, history and science, including Advanced Placement biology and chemistry classes, which are offered every year if enrollment permits.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
