COURSE SELECTION, ADVANCED PROGRAMS SHOWCASE, AND MORE! We will begin the process of individual course selection/registration for SY 23 during the week of February 14th.  Counselors will distribute course selection sheets and review with students our course offerings, specific content pathways, graduation requirements, and college readiness expectations.  This year’s course selection assembly schedule is as follows: Tuesday, 2/15 –  Rising sophomores via English classes, Wednesday, 2/16 – Rising juniors via English classes, Thursday, 2/17 –  Rising seniors via English classes. Students will have an opportunity to meet with their counselors individually to review their academic and elective selections throughout the month of March and the first few weeks of April. Tuesday, March 8th, we have scheduled our Advanced Program Showcase for parents and students.  We are combining this event with our rising 9th Grade Orientation.  The 9th Grade Orientation begins at 6 p.m. in the Auditorium followed by the Advanced Programs Showcase at 7 pm in the Courtyard, Café, and Media Center.
