WHILE OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOLS STATE-WIDE ARE CUTTING THEIR EXPLORATORY PROGRAMS, SANTIAGO CONTINUES TO WORK SO THAT THESE INVALUABLE CLASSES REMAIN A PART OF THE CURRICULUM. AS A RESULT, EACH STUDENT AT SANTIAGO HAS THE OPTION OF CHOOSING TWO PER YEAR OF THE FOLLOWING ELECTIVES: ART, VOCAL MUSIC, DRAMA, FOREIGN LANGUAGE, INDUSTRIAL ARTS, HOME ECONOMICS, BAND, ORCHESTRA, SPEECH, READING, AND MUSICAL THEATER. ALL OF THE ELECTIVE TEACHERS HAVE RECEIVED TRAINING IN THE AREAS OF READING AND WRITING, AND THEY INCORPORATE THESE LESSONS INTO THEIR PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF SANTIAGO'S STANDARDS-BASED CURRICULUM.Expenses $14,387,631
