INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

In order to help students plan an appropriate high school program of study, the following Academic Handbook has been prepared. It contains a description of the courses offered, their content, graduation requirements, and additional pertinent program and scheduling information.  The course information has been organized by department.

 

Planning is of the utmost importance and should be the combined responsibility of the student and parents/guardians.  Planning and appropriate course selections enable students to meet the district’s requirements as well as personal educational goals. 

 

Some areas that may be considered in making student course selection are:

 

¯       Individual educational goals and career interests

 

¯       Past achievements and performance

 

¯       District graduation requirements

 

¯       Course requirements and pre‑requisites

 

¯       Course credits

 

¯       Teacher/Counselor recommendations

 

Course selection worksheets at the back of this handbook assist with both short and long-term planning.
