Registration Information
Counselors will present an overview of CTHS and course registration to your student. Students will receive a core recommendation sheet and an elective worksheet. They may access the Course Registration Guide on the Resources page of this website.
Please discuss this with your student and sign the forms where indicated.
Students will also receive a level change request form if they wish to appeal their core recommendation.
The following week, students register via PowerSchool for their 9th grade electives and return their elective worksheet and level change request form (if applicable).
