MY CHOICES: 1) LIST YOUR REQUIRED CORE SELECTIONS FIRST (you checked them on pg. 1), THEN 2) COURSES YOU
MAY NEED TO RETAKE FOR CREDIT, THEN 3) ELECTIVES. YEAR LONG OR 1 CREDIT COURSES WILL BE LISTED IN BOTH
SEMESTER 1 & 2 and 2 credit courses take up 2 periods and both semesters.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS: CAREFULLY CONSIDER YOUR SENIOR SCHEDULE AND HOW THAT WILL REFLECT ON
YOUR NEXT STEPS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL. COLLEGES ARE LOOKING FOR 3-4 CORE CLASSES (English, math, science, social
studies or foreign language) AND RIGOR WITHIN THE SENIOR SCHEDULE. CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT THERE’S AN AP
or ACCELERATED COURSE YOU COULD TAKE TO ADD RIGOR. Consider how many elective courses you have versus core.
Take time to look up your top college choices, and what they expect from a senior schedule. Also, know what’s needed
for Board Scholar status.
