DEER ISLE-STONINGTON HIGH SCHOOL Launching lifelong learners and responsible citizens able to keep our island community vital. Todd West, School Principal
Mike Wood, Assistant Principal Martha Jordan, Student Services Director Matt Larsen, Athletic Director February 2008 Dear Students and Parents: Welcome to the 2008-2009 Deer Isle-Stonington High School Program of Studies. We hope that the Program of Studies will serve as a guide as you select the courses that you are going to take in the 2008-09 school year at DISHS. Scheduling for the 2008-2009 school year will begin in late February and conclude in early April. Students can expect to have a preliminary schedule before June. However, please realize that this document is prepared several months prior to the start of the school year. Every course listed here may not be offered because of enrollment or registration patterns and staffing assignments. If you have any questions, please contact Martha Jordan or Roberta Johnson in our Student Services Office for clarification. They will be happy to assist you. I encourage students to consider their options fully and plan to take advantage of the course offerings contained in the Program of Studies. We are lucky that DISHS can offer such a broad offering of courses in such a personalized learning environment. The Deer Isle-Stonington Schools strategic plan encourages students to graduate from high school “prepared to succeed at whatever they choose.” At DISHS, you will find courses as well as extra- and co-curricular activities that will truly prepare you for any future road you intend to travel. My advice is to choose the challenging or interesting class and make the most of your studies at Deer Isle-Stonington High School. Here's to a successful and rewarding 2008-2009 school year! Sincerely, Todd West, Principal |
