THE FINE PRINT!: The selection of courses and electives determines staffing and scheduling in the high school. Therefore, it 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 coming school year. Enrollment figures determine the decision to add or cancel an elective class when the Master Schedule is created. Choose wisely and carefully. List your electives in priority order on the Course Selection Sheet.
