What are electives?
"Electives provide an opportunity for students to pursue more specialized interests outside the core and explore a variety of different academic pursuits. For instance, students may be able to further pursue the arts by taking an elective course in photography, band, or drama. Similarly, a student may be able to explore their passion for writing from a different angle by enrolling in a journalism or creative writing class. Electives are a way to either try something completely new, or to further develop an interest." (From CollegeVine, A Guide to Choosing Electives in High School)
CTAE (Career Technology Agriculture Education) classes are electives that students can take to pursue a field of study. There are 4 levels/courses in each pathway.
Some electives are related to PE (Team Sports, Weight Training), support (Algebra, Geometry), or academics (World Geography, Psychology).
You need 3 electives in CTAE/Fine Arts/World Languages (any combination) and 4 additional electives. Think about what you are REALLY interested in when you choose your elective classes - you get to choose them so choose what YOU like!
