THE FINE PRINT!: The selection of courses and electives determines staffing and scheduling in the high school. Therefore, is very important that students SELECT THEIR COURSES NOW, NOT DURING THE SUMMER, in an effort to help ensure that a class runs in the upcoming school year. Enrollment numbers determine if an elective class will be offered when the Master Schedule is created. Choose wisely and carefully NOW. List your electives in priority order on the Course Selection Sheet. Thank you.
