Title: Armenian Classes in Jeopardy
Body: From http://www.boston.com/news/education/k_12/articles/2009/08/30/watertown_high_ekes_out_another_year_of_armenian_language_classes Even with deep Armenian roots, Watertown High barely saves classes By Erica Noonan August 30, 2009 With the third highest number of Armenian immigrants in the United States, Watertown faces a formidable challenge - how to preserve what may be the country’s last surviving Armenian-language program at a public high school. Prospects for the program, on the eve of its 40th anniversary, looked dim after the school could not find a replacement for its founder, Anahid Yacoubian, who retired from full-time work in 2007 but taught the advanced-level class to juniors and seniors until the end of school this spring. It appears the program at Watertown High is saved for this year but its future beyond that is uncertain.
