Eanes ISD Westlake High School students will be offered a choice of 10 new courses for the 2016-17 school year. The Eanes ISD board of trustees approved the new course offerings at its Nov. 17 meeting. 

The new courses include History of Rock & Roll, Beginning Guitar, Business Incubator, AP Computer Science Principles, Personal Financial Literacy and five new advanced mathematics offerings.

“We believe in the whole student, so we want to have opportunities that appeal to everyone,” Principal John Carter said.

With the new math courses, students will have the option to enroll in AP Calculus C, Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra and Contemporary Math Topics: Dynamic Systems.

“We’ve had students accelerating through the math program and finishing early,” Carter said. “Austin is a hotbed for [engineering, science and mathematics].”
