The Northmont High School day is composed of seven 50-minute periods. While some students select courses that utilize all 7 periods, a “full schedule” is not necessarily recommended for all students. Care should be taken in selecting courses, as schedule changes are not always feasible or possible. The bullets indicate courses that are required for graduation. Some options are available in that all required courses do not need to be taken during the prescribed year. Attendance in summer school or postponing a course may open up a schedule for additional electives. If other options are desired, it is suggested that the student and parent remain in contact with the counselor to ensure the correct sequence is followed.

Partial credits will not be issued. Students must complete the course as stated in the Program of Studies to earn credit. For example, a student cannot enroll in a class that is listed as a one-credit course and leave that class at the end of the first semester and receive 1/2 credit. Credits will only be issued upon completion of the course.
