Planning your high school course of study
In many ways, high school is becoming more like college, where
students can customize their course of study to reflect individual
interests and career goals. The result is that students at Mohonasen
High School have more choices in their coursework (particularly
after grade nine) than ever before.
All high school students are required to take a minimum of six
courses plus physical education each semester. However, students are
encouraged to select as many courses as their schedule and ability
allow.
Choices in coursework are explained in greater detail in the
Mohonasen High School Course of Study Guide (PDF document) which
is published annually. Copies can also be obtained by calling the
Counseling and Career Center at 356-8320.
Parents and students are encouraged to be proactive about calling or
making appointments with their guidance counselor whenever they have
questions about which courses they can choose from and which would
best serve their future career goals. Counselors recognize that some
parents want more input and information than others. However, parent
involvement is always encouraged and accommodated.
