- Counselors visit 5th periods to collect 9th and 10th grade course selection sheets and discuss post-secondary planning, high school opportunities and graduation requirements in the classroom setting.

- There will be a brief window of time each summer for students to request schedule changes. Changes are very limited and only made for students who need to balance out their core courses.
- All students should carefully consider their post-secondary plans when selecting courses for the upcoming school year. Use these resources to get a head start on your planning: search by career interest, college major, or college to discover requirements for each.
