High School students are required to enroll in six (6) courses for a full schedule of six (6) course periods.  

All rising 9th-11th graders should choose two (2) alternate electives and Rising Seniors should choose three (3) alternate electives. Alternates are courses that you prefer if we are not able to schedule your first choice elective(s).  

Some courses have prerequisites/corequisites. These are listed with the course descriptions. Students must meet any prerequisites/corequisites listed in order to enroll in a course.  Any exception to this requires the advance written approval of the teacher of the course. 

In addition to prerequisites/corequisites, some courses require teacher recommendations. If a teacher is not willing to sign to give approval, your parent must complete a Permission to Take an Advanced Course form before you can register for the course.
