Welcome, freshman students! During the month of December, you will be working with your counselor to pick classes for next school year.
It's important for you to keep in mind your postsecondary plans. What classes will help prepare you the most for what you want to do after high school?
Below are many resources to help you with this process. If you have any questions, make sure to reach out to your counselor.
