CATALOG of APPROVED HIGH SCHOOL COURSES 2010 - 2011 Members of the Board of Education of Howard County CATALOG OF APPROVED HIGH SCHOOL COURSES 2010 - 2011 Members of the Board of Education of Howard County Frank J. Aquino, Chairman Ellen Flynn Giles, Vice Chairman Lawrence H. Cohen Allen Dyer Sandra H. French Patricia S. Gordon Janet N. Siddiqui, M.D. Josh T. Manley (Student member for 2009-2010) Dear Student: The Howard County Public School system offers a wide variety of courses for high school students. The purpose of the Catalog of Approved High School Courses is to assist you and your parents in selecting the courses that are best for you. Selecting the courses for your high school program is an extremely important task and one that you should do thoughtfully with your parents. What courses are required for graduation? When will you take each required course? What are your interests and areas in which you wish to develop? What courses are best suited to your goals? Teachers, school counselors and administrators are available to help you make wise choices. Take full advantage of the help and support they offer. Be sure to schedule an appointment with your school counselor to help you with the important task of developing your Four-Year High School Plan. Also, meet with your school counselor each year to review your plan and to select courses for the upcoming school year. High school is an exciting time of life. You can design a program of studies that is uniquely suited to helping you grow and develop into the person you want to be. Plan your academic program to move you toward the future you want for yourself. On behalf of our entire school system, I wish you much success. Sincerely, Sydney L.

  • Thank You for Your Discussion at the Work Session Last Night. I Think I
    Michelle McGeogh Polygon 1064 Board Members, Thankyou for your discussion at the work session last night. I think I sensedthat all board members would like to keep walkers walking. I wanted to remind the board that Polygons 64, 1064, 129 md 1129, although not technically walkers, we are "near walkers. " Residents in these polygons walk or bike to school often (you may have seen a few tweets about this). If the board adopts the Superintendent's plan and moves us to Swansfiled our walking days are over (see attached). Pleasekeep Polygons 64, 1064, 129 and 1129 united at Pointers Run where we can continue walking and riding bikes to school. In addition, it does not make sense to move the new development of affordable housing (Robinson Overlook) out of Pointers Run Elementary School. Thank you againfor all the time you have devoted to this important decision. Let's keep walkers and near walkers walking and hiking to school.
