Program Planning
Students, along with their counselors and parents, begin the development of the four-year plan of study during the fall of the 8th grade year. The plan of study will serve as a blueprint for meeting graduation requirements, post secondary admission requirements, and individual student interests. While the plan of study is reviewed each year during the course selection process, students also have the opportunity to update their plan of study at any time by meeting with their counselor.
