INTRODUCTION Longview High School encourages students to give careful thought to their selection of courses in terms of graduation requirements and future goals. Students should consider courses that correlate with future career plans. Those who plan to attend college should select advanced academic courses that relate to their future college major or career goals. Others who do not plan to attend college should choose courses that will provide a broad academic background and the skills necessary to obtain career choices. Students should involve teachers, parents, and counselors when making plans for high school and beyond. After being advised by teachers, students should discuss course selections with parents, and with the help of an academic counselor, prepare a written Academic Plan to serve as a guide while they are in high school. Over the course of each student’s high school career, the guidance staff will make every effort to monitor the student’s progress toward meeting state and local graduation requirements. However, it is extremely important that students and parents take responsibility for ensuring that all graduation requirements are completed in a timely fashion. Course planning and registration should be taken very seriously. Students should select courses and programs that match their interests and academic abilities. Careful consideration should be given to the combination of courses selected and the demand on time for studying, practicing, performing, or competing. Our counseling staff is available to help students and parents plan courses to meet state and local graduation requirements while meeting their career goals. Choices students make during high school will determine the choices available to them for the rest of their lives. Additional education or training gained through college, post-secondary education, technology training, military service, and vocational training can open up a world of opportunities. Students should set a goal that extends beyond high school and focuses on what they need to do now in order to make that goal come true. The Longview Independent School District Course Catalog lists the courses that our high school generally makes available to students. It should be noted, however, that not all of the courses listed are scheduled every year. Since it is not economically feasible to schedule classes in which only a few students enroll, the class may not be offered for the current year. Sufficient numbers of student requests for specific courses then become the determining factor as to whether or not a course is scheduled. This Course Catalog provides a Table of Contents to assist in locating specific areas of information. The first section of the guide contains general information. The second section provides the specific description of courses by department. Descriptions, prerequisites, grade levels, and credits are listed for each course. The last section includes college and career planning information. The Course Catalog is also available online at www.lisd.org. Students are also encouraged to use the LHS Guidance web site at www.lisd.org/lhs/guidance. MISSION Believing in excellence for all, the Longview Independent School District will guarantee the highest level of academic achievement and character development of each learner by providing challenging curriculum and exemplary instruction within a safe environment. 3
