Foreword<br />
Dear Students: you have in your hands a document<br />
that represents the collective knowledge of<br />
your award-winning school, James Logan High.<br />
The knowledge represented here is both vast and<br />
deep, and the most exciting part is that it’s all<br />
available to you! There’s something for everyone,<br />
and we hope you take advantage of as much of<br />
our offerings as possible.<br />
This catalog is designed to help you in several<br />
ways. First, it provides an overview of graduation<br />
and college entrance requirements. Second, it<br />
can guide you in making choices about classes to<br />
take while in high school. Third, and more importantly,<br />
it will help you discuss with your family<br />
and your counselor the direction you wish to go<br />
after graduating from high school. Setting high<br />
standards for yourself in high school will provide<br />
you with the most options after high school. Keep<br />
this in mind as you plan your high school program.<br />
All students are encouraged to take advanced<br />
mathematics and science courses. Employment<br />
trends indicate that people entering the job market<br />
in the next few years will need a high level of<br />
proficiency in mathematics and science. Your<br />
counselor will work with you to continue your<br />
mathematics and science education throughout<br />
high school (And note: the State of California requires<br />
that every student take and pass Algebra to<br />
graduate.)<br />
This catalog has all the information you’ll need to<br />
select your required courses and electives. But of<br />
course your counselor is a great resource, and will<br />
be able to answer your questions, fine tune your<br />
selections, and help create a plan to meet your<br />
individual needs. So take advantage of everything<br />
James Logan offers, and enjoy the experience.<br />
Have fun and good luck!<br />
James Logan High School<br />
