Students should consider all Learning Strand possibilities and choose courses that suit their individual interests, skills, needs and future education and career goals. Working with the support and input of parents and school counselors, students should endeavor to experience a variety of learning opportunities. 

Student Course Load:  

1. In order that students develop a broad background as well as a degree of specialization in one of the Learning Strands, students are strongly encouraged to take at least seven credits each year. It is important to note that colleges and institutions of higher learning look carefully at student course load information (both quality and quantity) especially during the junior and senior years. Therefore, juniors and seniors should take at least six credits each year.

2. Courses taken in 7th and 8th grade, such as algebra, do not count towards high school graduation.  However, if taken in middle school, these courses will allow students to earn advanced placement credits in high school.
