Academic Curriculum |
| |
|
Course selection is based on the career program of study chosen by the student
which meets the high school graduation requirements as well as the certificate
of competency requirements for that career program. Students, their parents,
counselors, and teachers should all be involved in the course selection process,
making choices which best suit the individual student's needs and interests. |
| |
| |
|
| |
Choices are based on knowledge of requirements for entrance into various
occupations, colleges, or technical schools which will lead toward an
occupational or educational goal. The student's schedule will include all
required courses in the selected career program of study as well as all required
academic courses in English, mathematics, science, social studies, physical
education, safety/health, and foreign language if requested.
