Courses offered in the 2022-2023 school year are selected during spring pre-registration. Generally, if twenty-five or more students are pre-registered for a course, it will be offered the next school year; however, if during final registration fewer students are signed-up for a course, it may be canceled and those students will be rescheduled into alternate courses.

Students are reminded to discuss course selections with their parents, teachers, and counselor before pre-registration and to choose their classes carefully. Courses should be chosen which will challenge and prepare students for their career/technical major or college education.

Parents and students should be aware of Southeast Career Technical Academy’s commitment to providing a rigorous, relevant, and challenging curriculum. Student placement in classes will be based upon several factors: (a) teacher recommendation, (b) previous grades in similar courses, (c) parental guidance, and (d) interest of the student. Additionally, every effort will be made to appropriately place students in challenging courses, which coincide with the student’s assessed ability as indicated by his/her stanine scores or national percentile rank on standardized tests. It is essential that parents and students understand that changing class placements without significant extenuating circumstances will not occur.

HOW TO USE THIS CATALOG

Read the Course Catalog descriptions before pre-registering. Prerequisites are listed in the catalog to help students and parents make the best educational decisions possible. Students must meet the prerequisites of a course before they can pre-register for that course. If a student does not meet the prerequisites, he/she must request permission to challenge the course before he/she may enroll. NOTE: A student who challenges a course must remain in the class for an entire year.

COUNSELING SERVICES

School counselors provide assistance with the proper selection of classes and monitor academic performance. Throughout the school year, they meet with students and disseminate information about testing, career and employment opportunities, colleges, technical and business schools, the armed services, scholarships and financial aid. Much of this information is also duplicated and available online at www.secta.us. The counselors provide personal/social counseling by working with students, parents, school personnel, and community agencies.

Students are assigned to counselors by major and will remain with them through their senior year. To see a counselor, a student should go to the Administrative Office before or after school or during lunch to sign up for an appointment. Students may also email their counselors. All faculty emails are available at www.secta.us

RELEASE OF STUDENT DIRECTORY INFORMATION

Federal legislation provides that all branches of the military have access to three directory information categories – names, addresses, and telephone listings – unless parents have advised the school that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without prior written consent. Clark County School District has developed a form for the purpose of allowing parents this option. CCF-823, Release of Student Directory Information, is available online to schools and parents or you may request a hard copy from the school office. Parents also have the opportunity to designate their directory information choices during on-line Infinite Campus registration, annually.
