Review the graduation requirements and course descriptions carefully with your parents/guardians before planning your courses. Your counselor and teachers will assist you with your decisions. Your choice of courses should be based upon graduation requirements, post-high school plans, teacher recommendations, interests and abilities, and past achievements.
It is important to note that some of the courses listed in this guide may not be offered due to insufficient student registration. We update information in the Course Guide on a regular basis.

Course Selection Guidelines
Discuss as a Family: Please discuss class choices as a family and make sure you and your student are in agreement with the courses selected for the next school year.
Discuss with Teachers: We also encourage your student to discuss course selection with his/her current core class teacher if they have questions regarding placement.
Select Carefully: Choose ALL classes with care, keeping in mind balance.
Every class = 30 min/1 hour of homework
Every H/AP course = 1.5/2 hours of homework per night!
Schedule Changes: Keep in mind that schedule changes will only be made for the following reasons: academic misplacement; challenge by choice; add a course needed for graduation; drop a course when pre-reqs have not been met; add/change partial absences; empty blocks in schedules.
