I’m in my early 50s and I’m the only one of my peers who took Latin in HS. And I didn’t know they quit teaching trig - guess I was born too soon...
Good for you. I took first-year Latin and then switched to French. To this day, I wish I'd have taken all 4 years offered. I think Trig is still taught, but in New York at least, it's rolled in with Algebra II -- which makes some sense.

I’m in my mid-60’ and took Latin in the 8th Grade. I’m so grateful to Mrs. Clapper, my Latin teacher, even though we all thought that she was Ray Nitschke’s bigger, older, meaner sister. I was terrified of her, but she made me learn a bit of Latin.
