"Teaching students a marketable skill to help them in the job market"

¿Comprendes lo que te dego?
    English may be our nation's language, but chances are you will work with someone who speaks Spanish in your lifetime. Planning on college? Most colleges today expect students to be educated in a foreign language.
    West Branch High School has long been dedicated to offering quality Spanish education. Enrollment is quite high; just short of fifty percent of every class will take Spanish at least through second year. And with routine in class celebrations and activities, class never gets routine.
Understand what I am saying?
