SENIOR HIGH COURSES

A full-time high school student will need to choose from among the following courses to fill his/her course schedule with 6 full-time equivalent (FTE) courses. This could be 6 two-semester (year-long) courses or 5 year-long courses and 2 one-semester courses, or any like combination. In other words, a full-time student will be one who registers for courses that “add up” to 6.0 credits. Be sure that your choices will satisfy the graduation requirements. Visit the Course Description pages for detailed information on each of these courses. I have listed the subject-specific courses within the core course listing in the general sequence/order in which most students complete the courses for the respective subject area.
