Course Selection begins in February of each school year. Each student receives a personalized course-selection sheet that includes information about credits earned and graduation requirements. Students are asked to work with their parents to select courses for the subsequent year. School Counselors then meet with each student individually (after a signed course-selection sheet has been submitted) to review credits earned, graduation requirements as well as the student's career and/or college goals. Schedules are released to students during the last week of the school year.
