MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES

Before you choose your classes and meet with your counselor, you need to pull up your transcript.

To access your transcript, you will go to Infinite Campus -> the “Documents” tab on the left-hand side -> click on “Custom Unofficial Transcript”

A few things to think about when choosing your classes:

Which diploma type am I shooting for?
What are my plans after high school?

Should I focus more on career ed classes vs. college prep? Or the opposite?
What are the requirements to get into the college or other program that I am I hoping for after high school (you will need to do some research)

What do I need in order to get scholarships?

READ THE COURSE CATALOG!

You need to be aware of the course prerequisites and expectations before choosing a class because once the school year starts, we cannot change your classes
