Schools plan new course offerings

There will be several new course offerings at the high school and middle school levels in Kalispell Public Schools.

Some of the classes fulfill the district’s new requirement for high school students to have three years of math. The new math courses are designed for both career- and college-bound students.

Other courses that will be introduced are part of the district’s Project Lead the Way Science, Technolology, Engineering and Math Academy at Glacier High School, Flathead High School’s new Biomedical Science program and Kalispell Middle School’s Gateway to Technology program.
