CONTACT YOUR SCHOOL COUNSELOR WITH QUESTIONS

Your School Counselor is an excellent resource after you have reviewed both your Four-Year Plan and the options available in the Course Guidebook.  Contact your Counselor as needed to set up an appointment from now until January 30. Counselors will also be meeting with students in February - as needed - to finalize course requests. 

Counselors are also a great resource for Four-Year Plans, Schoolinks, Dual Credit, AP classes NCAA Eligibility, and post-high school planning.  View their sessions from Academic Planning Night.

PREPARE FOR COURSE RECOMMENDATION DAY

Course Recommendation Day at the high school is Wednesday, January 11th.  One of the best ways we can support you is to provide guidance in each of your classes about the options that exist in that department the following year.  Courses are often best taken in a certain order or sequence.  Your current teachers will walk you through options on this day.

For the incoming ​Class of 2027, departmental information will be available at our 8th Grade Open House on Wednesday, January 18th: ​LEARN MORE
