Freshmen families, please sit with your student to plan the Freshmen schedule, using the resources below, before submitting course requests. 

9TH Graders at PCHS take the following courses: 

• English 9 - All students are enrolled in Honors English 9AB.

  • • Students must have a B or better in both semesters of 8th grade English in order to take Spanish, French or Italian.

• Students who are not eligible or do not wish to take a World Language can select an elective from the 2024-25 PCHS Course Catalog .

• Students with an IEP or 504 will be programmed into courses that align with their plan. Please make sure to upload their IEP or 504 into OLR.

• Students are no longer required to take Health, Technical Arts or Computers to graduate, but those courses will be available for elective credit.
