Selecting courses during high school is far more than simply planning which classes to take next year. It is important to view high school as a period of four years, during which you hope to meet a variety of personal goals: graduation, college eligibility or career and technical education, and skill development. Be aware of the requirements of each of your goals, and develop a Four Year Plan to ensure that all necessary courses will be completed by graduation.
It is recommended that you make an appointment with your counselor to create and discuss your 4-year plan goals.
