For years we’ve heard that our current high school schedule limits the number of electives our students can take. With only 6 periods in a day and two semesters there are only 12 opportunities in a year. And a lot of those classes are required for graduation. There just aren’t many options left in the schedule for students to explore something new. In our latest Pony Voices podcast we talk with staff who are taking a deeper look at how we might change our schedule to give kids more options and maybe reduce the number of transitions and number of classes that students have in one day.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
