Latin Courses Survive via Distance Learning in High Schools
Latin enrollment in the United States has fallen from 7.6 percent of high school students in 1960 to 1.1 percent, with many schools dropping the subject. Wilmington Area High School remains the lone in person Latin option in Lawrence County while others use distance learning to offer Latin II at Union Area High School. Brian McCombie, 17, studies Latin II remotely, guided by a Kentucky-based teacher using video, phone, and Internet. He hopes the program boosts college entrance test scores, while the teacher cites general gains in vocabulary from Latin study.
