Graduation Planning

The decisions in selecting a student's high school program are extremely difficult. 

The competition for college entrance, job placement and the need for post-secondary preparation have made it more important than ever to plan wisely with close cooperation between parents and school.  Besides required courses students, students can elect other courses that appeal to them. 

When making course selections, students must take into account requirements for college or job placement.  This need is the reason for a close working relationship among parents, students and the Guidance Office.

To pursue an education beyond high school, students must place emphasis upon the academic areas, which include:
  • Language Arts
  • Social Studies
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • World Languages
It is also important that students investigate whether the educational institutions of their choices have programs they desire and what the entrance requirements are.

Students also should  make certain that all prerequisites for desired courses have been satisfied.
