Choosing relevant courses is an important step in the scheduling process. This video provides a brief overview of the Program of Studies, graduation requirements, North Hills Career Pathways, and an overview of our programs and offerings with an emphasis on academic planning decisions.
Academic Planning Worksheet
This two-paged worksheet is designed to help students and parents plan course selection over multiple years of high school. Beginning with desired courses during a student’s senior year (considering possible Career Pathways, post-secondary goals and aspirations, and individual skills and talents) a student can work backwards to schedule necessary prerequisite courses and/or course progressions. Alternatively, a student may use the worksheet sequentially to enroll in the appropriate courses to meet graduation, NCAA, or other requirements.
