The academic program is designed to meet the varied needs of our student popu- lation. If the guide is to serve the student well, serious consideration and study must be utilized in making choices. The value of the Program of Studies is totally dependent on the effort put forth by each student in developing those understandings and skills that will build the foundation for a rewarding and satisfying future. Dr. Nicole Malinoski, Principal Cedar Crest High School From Your Counselors Students at Cedar Crest High School have the opportunity to plan and select individu- alized programs of study during their high school career. This Educational Planning Guide has been published to provide the students and their parents/guardians with information that will enable them to plan their educational programs. Included are the course of- ferings and descriptions, graduation requirements, and suggested educational plan. The course offerings provide for a solid base of academic study and also allow sufficient flexi- bility for students to elect courses based upon personal interest. The Counselors advise that students and their parents/guardians read the guide care- fully. We hope that the program selected is challenging, but not challenging beyond the student’s potential for success. Decisions for course selection should be made with great care, keeping in mind the student’s abilities, personal goals, general interests, and career aspirations. Counselors are available to assist students and parents/guardians with questions con- cerning the curriculum or selecting a program of study. Eighth grade students consult with their middle school counselor with questions. High school students consult their alpha- betically assigned counselor. Students in grades 9-12 with an IEP should consult with Mrs. Suhrbier.
