You are now part of a vigorous, progressive learning community dedicated to helping you grow and attain the highest possible level of academic achievement. As a Port Angeles Roughrider, your achievement will result from hard work, good instruction, and support from home and school. Your part in this partnership, the dedication to be the best you can be in your pursuit of excellence, is the central ingredient in academic success. We are committed to providing you with a top quality education and we are committed to supporting you and encouraging you. We hope you will rise to the occasion, meet the challenge, do your very best, and have an extremely successful and satisfying educational experience here at Port Angeles High School. Advisory Teachers: Advisory teachers can help examine your achievement and potential in different subject areas. They can describe various courses in depth, so you can decide if that‟s what you want to learn. Career Planning: Your advisory teacher can help you make career choices based upon your interests, skills and achievements. At Port Angeles High School we use the WOIS career information system which has information on thousands of occupations, career training programs and schools. Students can take online career assessments and interest profilers to help them identify and plan for their chosen career field. Counselors: Your counselors can help you navigate the challenges of high school as well as help with career plans. We have information on testing(PSAT, SAT, and ACT), scholarships, tutoring, Advanced Placement and honors classes, Running Start, Special Education services, college application process and much more. Counselors divide students alphabetically. Sign up to see your counselor if you have questions or to discuss plans for your future. Friends: Your friends, like your parents, can help you identify your strengths, skills, and interests. Talk to someone a grade or two ahead of you about what they might do differently if they had it to do over again. Parents: Your parents can help you plan your future and discuss how to pay for whatever schooling you choose. Department Chairpersons: The chairpersons of our different departments can help you with any questions about department requirements and exceptions to department policies. If you attempt to drop a class after 10 days into a semester, you will need the permission of the appropriate department chairperson.
