Course selection (the process by which students select courses for next school year) will begin in January 2024. Students, in collaboration with their parents, will select courses and enter their requests into the four-year plan (Career Plan) in Skyward.  This plan must be signed annually by both student and parent.  Course requests for the following school year are pulled from the Career Plan.  The deadline for current high school students to complete this process is Monday, February 20th, 2024.

  • January 19, 2024 -- Information session for freshmen during Biology class periods

Additionally, counselors will meet briefly one-on-one with each freshmen and sophomore students to answer questions and assist with four-year-planning and course selection.  

The course selection presentation for current Westlake High School students can be found here. 

For students who will be transitioning to ninth grade, course selection begins with middle school counselors meeting with 8th grade classes to review the requirements for graduation and begin building a 4-year plan. This is followed by a parent night and course fair for 8th graders at the high school.  Subsequently, high school counselors will visit both middle schools to review students' 4-year plans and assist them with entering their plan into Skyward (where it's called the Career Plan).
