High School Course Catalog

College and Career Readiness Pathway

This structure represents the course sequence that students normally follow to complete this pathway. However, different student interests may mean that students follow somewhat different sequences to complete the pathway. Students should work with their counselors to determine the best routes for them to follow to achieve their personal educational goals.

If students are interested in taking advanced courses, such as Honors, Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate (IB), they should indicate their interest either in Naviance or in discussions with their counselor. Counselors will work with students and parents throughout the course planning process to help ensure that students are placed in a course level aligned with individual student interests and goals.
