High School Course Guide The purpose of the High School Course Guide is to help students and parents make better decisions concerning course selections for the coming year. Each course that a student chooses should be part of an overall plan and suited to his/her abilities and interests. Perhaps a student has a certain career in mind; perhaps he/she is exploring different fields to help in the selection of a vocation. He/she may be planning for college or developing interests in one of the fine arts areas or other creative activities. Whatever the goal, making good scheduling decisions is important. A student's participation in a particular subject area should be based on a combination of logical and sequential courses of study, which lead to the desired objectives.
Students should read this guide carefully and discuss plans with parents. It is essential that a student think seriously about the particular subject before scheduling it, because a student-initiated request for change in schedule must be completed prior to student orientation. A student will not be allowed to shuttle between teachers and courses once he/she has been placed in the course. Because the administration must plan for the next school year, based on the subjects now, students cannot change classes or drop a course unless there are extenuating circumstances which are approved by the principal.
