With a semester of their first International Baccalaureate (IB) classes complete, Coconino High School students remain pleased by their decision to enroll in the advanced program.
A total of 55 students have enrolled in at least one of eight IB classes offered this year, including 19 who are participating in the full IB Diploma Programme, an advanced learning option for students during their last two years of high school.
