Course Selection

Course Selection for 2025-2026

Course selection for the 2025-2026 school year is underway! A timeline for this year's process is as follows:

January 8

A detailed message sent via email/Skyward to all current 8th-11th grade students and their parents regarding this year's course selection process. If you did not receive this contact, a copy can be found HERE.

January 13 - January 16

Counselors meet with all current 8th-11th grade students in their English/ELA classes. We will provide students information that will help them select appropriate courses. Students and parents are encouraged to discuss and decide on course selections. Course selections should be entered into Skyward during this time before counselors follow up with students later in a few weeks.

January 22 (6pm - MSHS Auditorium) - 8th Grade Parent Meeting

A meeting for parents of current 8th graders will be held to provide information about high school graduation requirements, ninth grade course selection, planning a four-year program, athletic/activity eligibility, college and career/technical school admission requirements, and NCAA eligibility. The information presented at this meeting will be very similar to what is shared with students on Thursday, January 16th. While students are welcome to attend, this is more-so targeted towards parents and guardians.
