Course Selection & Transition Information
Did you know it's time for 8th graders to start thinking about their high school courses for next year? During science classes this week, counselors guided 8th grade students through a Career Interest Inventory to connect their passions and areas of interest with GISD course pathways. In January, 8th graders will have the opportunity to explore the pathways offered in GISD at the EVHS Course Fair. For more information about course selection for the 25-26 school year and Personal Graduation Plans, please visit the WMS Counseling Services Website.
During science classes, counselors guided 8th graders through the steps below to help plan their 9th grade courses and personal graduation plan.
STEP 1: Review high school graduation requirements (on left), then use the following link to learn about high school programs of study.
