Important Information
General (The need to know...)
All students will carry a minimum of 6 credits per year. Post-secondary educational options Early College Credit Program (UW System) or the Start College Now Program (Technical College) may be included with permission as part of the minimum. The difficulty of the subject should be considered as well as the number of subjects taken during the time you are in high school. Any required class that a student fails for a semester will have to be made up in order to receive credit towards graduation. A diploma will be granted after completing four years of work, which includes 15.50 credits of required courses and 8.5 credits of elective courses. Twenty four total credits are required for graduation. This booklet has been designed to give students and parents an overview of the courses offered.
The booklet presents both required and elective courses as well as the prerequisites. Where the demand of a class exceeds the space available, seniors and juniors will receive priority.
Please choose your subjects carefully. On the basis of your selection, the high school schedule is developed and teachers are assigned, limited only by space, time, and space availability. (The subjects you select are reserved for you. Do not register for a course you do not intend to take.) Be certain to sign up for classes needed for high school graduation requirements as well as postsecondary admission requirements. Requests for program changes may not be honored after final registration (the last day prior to March 31st). Changes require an add/drop form to be completed.
*Course changes related to teacher preference will not be honored.
*Any course alterations caused by the behavior of the student could result in the student receiving a grade of “F” at the next grading date.
