Proper selection of a course of study is a matter of close individual attention, which requires cooperation among the student, the parent/guardian and the school.

As a student proceeds through high school, the student’s abilities, interests and future plans must all be considered to select appropriate courses in preparation for post-secondary study or employment. Students must know their strengths and weaknesses, recognize their levels of achievement and develop clear goals for their future before choosing courses.

Students should solicit the aid of their teachers, counselors and parents in making course selection decisions.

Teachers provide students with a valuable source of information concerning their level of achievement as observed from daily classroom performance.  Counselor’s help students review graduation requirements and provide careful, long-range planning to ensure that the student selects a meaningful educational program.  Parents should follow the progress of their children as they prepare for the years beyond high school.

The courses listed in the Program of Studies vary in difficulty and are intended to serve the needs of students with a wide variety of aptitudes and interests. All students must schedule eight (8) blocks per year.  Students will select courses in January for Grade 9 and February-April for grades 10-12 for the following school year.  This is accomplished with the help of guidance counselor interviews and with discourse and approval of parents and teachers.
