In February, juniors will have a class meeting lead by the Assistant Principal for Academics and department chairs, where they will hear about their options for courses next year.
Each junior will need to make an appointment with his counselor to discuss his course requests. The requests will be entered on special forms, which will require both parent and student signatures. The actual student schedule will be determined during the summer.
Regarding honors, advanced, and AP courses, it is usually best for a student to take the most challenging courses offered to him that the student, parents, and teacher feels he will do well in. Sometimes, this may result in a student taking three or four advanced courses. These courses are a way of placing your son with students who are similar in motivation and ability. Call the counselor if you have questions.
