Take the time to review the catalog carefully. As your student prepares to forecast for 2020-21 coursework, it is important to review the minimum requirements for all Hillsboro diplomas on page 2. Please note the Essential Skill profi ciency requirements in reading, writing and mathematics. When forecasting for next year, students and parents should keep the following in mind: • All courses and programs offered are contingent upon adequate funding. • All courses offered are dependent on enrollment. If an insuffi cient number of students request a course, it will not be taught. Courses are divided into two types: required and elective. Required courses are those a student must pass to meet the state of Oregon and Hillsboro School District requirements for graduation. Elective courses are designed to build skills in areas of study that meet the student’s need for vocational and college admission, as well as the pursuit of individual interests. Students are required to pass some elective courses as well. Not all courses are offered at every high school. Understanding a Course Courses are organized by subject categories within this catalog.
