2012-13 School Year Course Selection Process
On Wednesday, January 25, students received course selection materials. The packet included a color coded Course Selection form specific to their next grade level, an Individual Learning Plan to map out the student’s courses while in high school, as well as, a form listing all courses offered at SHS.

The Course Selection form should be filled out, signed by a parent and student, and brought back to school on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012. On this day, students will take the form to their Math class where their teacher will collect and forward them to the Student Support Office. The week of February 6th, students will attend a scheduled session in the computer lab with their math class. School Counselors will return course selection sheets to students in order to have them enter their selected courses into Power School. For more information, please refer to the 2012 Parent Letter.

Students being considered for this award will be evaluated based on scholarship, leadership, service, character, and financial need.  Application materials for the Shaw Scholarship will be available online throughout January.
