REGISTRATION
April 21st - May 16th Counselors will be visiting each English class 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 meet 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.
