In February, juniors have a class meeting lead by the Assistant Principal for Academics and department chairs. The hear about their options for courses next year.
Each junior needs to make an appointment with his school counselor to discuss his course requests. 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. The courses are a way of placing students with other students who are similar in motivation and ability. Call the counselor if you have questions.
