INTRODUCTION The Program of Studies is a publication designed to assist students and parents in mapping out an appropriate and rigorous academic program for high school. Decision-making is an important part of the course selection process and therefore, offerings should be carefully reviewed in order to select courses that will best meet the needs, interests and goals of each individual student. The school counselor, special education case manager (where applicable) and teachers, along with the parents/guardians, work together to help students through this process. Final decisions regarding the actual offering of any particular course will depend upon enrollment. Therefore, not all classes listed in this catalog are guaranteed to run every school year.
