“The typical high school graduate could read several languages, was familiar with the arts and culture of western civilization, and was familiar with the classical literature of his culture, typically in the original language (Latin, Greek and Hebrew).”

With the possible exception of Greek Orthodox Christian parochial schools, I have never heard of any high school in the past century teaching Greek. Latin is still often taught but Spanish and French are the most common languages in high schools in America today.
