On the following page is an important worksheet to help you plan the courses you will take in high school. Please be aware that your post-high school plans for college, employment, or career training may require courses beyond the graduation requirements. Also, if you want to finish up your high school program with some Advanced Placement or advanced-level vocational courses, you need to register for the necessary classes during 9th, 10th, and 11th grade.
It’s your future, so plan carefully!
You are strongly encouraged to complete your graduation requirements in the years indicated on the planning worksheet. Use the descriptions in this course guide to help you decide which courses to take in each subject area.
