Below is a list of courses by grade level. If you click on the course, you will be taken to a course description page where you can learn more about the class. Students, you should look at the courses listed for the grade you will be in next year (ex: if you are in 9th grade now, look at the 10th grade offerings!). Please use this page to identify courses you are interested in taking. Reach out to your teachers with questions! Each student will have a 1-1 meeting with their guidance counselor to review their choices for next year.
A few things to keep in mind:
9th & 10th Grade Students are required to have 6 full-time courses each semester of each year as well as 2 PE credits per year.
11th & 12th Grade Students are required to have 5 full-time courses each semester of each year as well as 2 PE credits per year.
In total, a student will need 100 credits to graduate.
Students need to meet the minimum requirements in each department for graduation, but they can always take a second or third or fourth class in a given department as electives.
