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.
