Scholastic Information
The course selection process for students at Monument Mountain Regional High School is one that is geared toward student growth. Students will select their program of study for the following school year in March. Prior to the actual selection, time is set aside for students to explore the various courses and to consult with teachers, counselors and parents.
Changes in programs can be accomplished in June and during the summer. Changes in programs, during the actual school year however, are difficult and many times impossible. Most course change requests will be made only for the following reasons: obvious scheduling errors, to meet graduation requirements and by administrator or teacher recommendation.
In planning your program each year, serious thought should be given to your post-high school plans. The kind of programs pursued in high school will affect school and college admissions as well as job opportunities available to you.
Students are strongly urged to select courses from all departments within the school rather than limiting your choices to one field. Experiencing a variety of programs may introduce you to a new area of interest never before considered as a possible career. Students in a college preparatory program, once college entrance requirements are fulfilled, are encouraged to take courses in art, business, family and consumer science and technology education. Business students, vocational students, and technology education majors should also explore possibilities within other departments of the high school. You will never know where your aptitudes or interests lie unless you allow yourself the opportunity to get involved in a variety of experiences.
Students who plan to enter college upon graduation must be certain that their courses reflect a challenge to their academic potential. Colleges look at the senior program carefully for signs of involvement in challenging courses of an academic nature.
