Focus Area in high school

Students must complete three (3) credits in an elective focus.  The focused program of study is designed to prepare students for the workforce and post-secondary study.  The intent of the elective focus is to provide students with an opportunity to explore a particular academic area in greater depth.

The elective focus is selected from the following:

• CTE (Students must complete 3 units in the same CTE program of study)

• Science and Math

• Humanities

• Fine Arts

• AP/IB/Dual Enrollment

• JROTC

The elective focus credits are in addition to required graduation credits in these areas.
