When you sign up for new courses, you make a commitment. You plan not just for that year, but also for the whole future. Plan and choose your courses carefully. The four-year-plan you made at the end of the eighth grade will help. Review it and update it. Be sure you are still on track with your plans. All students should keep these tips in mind:
1. Choose courses that lead to graduation.
2. Pick challenging courses.
3. Choose a variety of different courses.
4. Check with your parents, teachers and counselor. They can help you choose courses and prepare for careers.
5. Check college or job requirements. Be sure the courses you choose will meet your needs.
