The high school student of today has more educational options than ever before. Career and academic classes, college classes, and online virtual courses are available to ensure that graduates will be well trained and globally competitive.

In order to avoid confusion, and to guarantee that all graduation requirements are being met, careful academic planning is key. This Course Guide is a tool for selecting appropriate courses as you collaboratively design and update a Four-Year Plan with your parents/guardians and school counselor. Consider making an academic stretch by taking rigorous courses that will complement future career goals. Remember that the choices you make now will determine your post-secondary educational and professional success.

The following sequence is recommended to assist you in the registration process:

● Read the material carefully.
● Consider possible courses that will help you attain career goals.
● Discuss potential choices with parents/guardians.
● Consider taking an advanced (AP/IB/CCP) or online class if you have not yet done so.
● Schedule a registration appointment with your school counselor to review your 4-year plan.
● Ensure that graduation requirements are met before altering a proposed schedule.

Careful planning and personal commitment are sure to make your high school years a meaningful and satisfying experience.
