Welcome to the spring registration process for the 2026-2027 school year!

Lee County Schools' Student Registration Guide contains information needed to register and is designed to help you and your parents or guardians make the best choices for your high school education. You'll find many exciting options for you as a high school student in this book. Read through it carefully. It will be especially important for you to talk with your counselors, parents and teachers concerning your course selections. Choices that you make in high school affect your options for study and career after your time in high school has ended, so please give serious consideration to your course choices. In order to earn a high school diploma, you must meet all course, credit, and test requirements of at least one course of study. These courses of study are designed by the state to prepare students for a multitude of post-high school opportunities from entry-level careers to highly technical studies at community colleges, colleges and universities. You are encouraged to select the most challenging course of study in which you can be successful.

REGISTRATION IS A COMMITMENT to take the courses you have selected. Remember, when you complete your registration, you are requesting a specific course, NOT a specific teacher, time, or place. You may choose the course you would like to take in the next school year; however, your schedule may change pending final grades in the courses you are currently taking and your End-of-Grade (EOG) or End-of-Course (EOC) scores.

Steps for Completing the Registration Process

Study the General Information section of this registration guide. Identify the requirements for graduation by reviewing the graduation requirement chart.
Read the course descriptions of both required courses and electives in which you are interested, and make sure you meet the prerequisite requirements.
Use the High School Academic Plan developed by you, your parents, and your counselor to select the courses you want to take.
Talk with your school counselors and teachers for help in determining the courses you need. School staff members will make recommendations to you by using several criteria such as your previous performance, test scores and the AP Potential results based on your PSAT information.
Meet with your counselor to make your course selections for your registration.
Have your parent or guardian double check your selections to make sure you have registered for the courses you need.
Complete your registration after your parent or guardian and you have finalized your course selections. Be sure to meet the registration deadline designated by your school.

Planning for High School Registration

Selecting Requires Planning

Your high school classes should be selected based on your career and educational aspirations. Careful four-year planning will give you a challenging class schedule that meets all requirements and allows opportunity to explore your interests.
