o oX u m X o X >_ 1— u z Ul U o 0) 3 E s o o i CO o The degree to which the high school experience is both enjoyable and profitable is directly related to the amount of planning devoted to the selection of program and courses. The pattern of study pursued will dictate the opportunities available to students upon graduation. Students should begin by analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, aspirations, interests, and possible career goals. This is a difficult task, but students can lake heart in the fact they do not have to make this analysis on their own. The selection of a program of study should involve the student, parents, teachers and counselors. Parents and students are encouraged to lean on the professional educators at their disposal to provide advice based on the wealth of information and experience to which they have access.

COURSE CODING EXPLANA TION Courses that have no designation before or after the title are taught at a general level (the only exception to this rule is in English where the course number designates all levels except Honors andAP). Courses that have a CP next to the title are taught at a college preparatory level. The title "Advanced" or "ADV" may precede or follow some titles of courses that are taught at a slightly higher level than CP. These courses often have prerequisites that may include prior course completion and/or teacher recommendation. "Honors" or "HN" is the designation given courses that are included in our academic program that are offered to those students who seek a highly challenging curriculum and who have demonstrated superior achievement.
