Mr. Moser chooses to concentrate his focus on the SAT rather than the ACT because of the availibility of scholarship money to be had through the National Merit and the skills received in preparing for this test will help with the ACT however, the ACT is run by a different organization and follows a different format. Mr. Moser said the following, "I have received many requests to teach the ACT, but I have chosen to make the SAT/PSAT my focus, because quality is more important to me than demand."

This course is excellent for the college-bound student, as it qualifies as a high school level elective credit. Yearbook production typically runs from Sept-Feb. Students can expect assignments and duties to extend beyond the allocated class time including, but not limited to the following: photography assignments, theme developments, story ideas, organizing sale and distribution of the yearbook, advertising sales, completion of computer pages, as well as establishing and meeting and publication deadlines. CTC standards and expectations take precedence. Students must maintain the integrity and secrecy of the publication. While individual work is necessary, working as a team is also essential. Students are further expected to maintain computer equipment. Attendance and punctuality to class and to all deadlines is paramount. This class will run from the beginning of the school year until Spring Break.
