5 YEAR PLAN CLASS PRESENTATIONS
In December counselors visit all 9th grade English classes to walk students through filling out a 5 Year Plan.
All students will receive and review a copy of our high school graduation requirements, four year college requirements & Math and Science Flow Charts.
A copy of the 5 year is mailed home. The 5 year plan is for planning purposes and is not set in stone.
REGISTRATION
In February Counselors will visit English classes to explain how to fill out the registration forms for next year's classes. Each student receives a course catalog, master class list, and a Math and Science Flow Chart.
High school graduation requirements and four year college requirements are reviewed. Students later met individually with their counselor to answer questions and double check the classes that were selected.
Class selections are final and there is no guarantee that we will be able to accommodate any changes.
The flow chart will help you determine what the next Math or Science classes to take. The master class list outlines all the course numbers and classes SSHS will offer next year including which classes are Fine Art,
Practical Art, full year, and Semester classes.
