COURSE DESCRIPTION HANDBOOK

Programs of Study

The selection of an appropriate program of study is an important decision which requires direct involvement of the counselor, teachers, parents, and student. The purpose is to plan a challenging, goal-oriented four-year high school program. This graduation plan should be carefully developed in order to meet both graduation requirements and fulfill student educational goals.

NOTE: Some courses are taught at only one school, due to facility and/or equipment limitations. Students from one campus may enroll in a course taught on another, if scheduling permits. Students who wish to take a class at another school and can work it into their schedules must provide their own transportation.
