Recommended course pathways are designed to provide students with a clear plan for completing their academic and career goals while still allowing flexibility to participate in programs such as athletics, band, fine arts, clubs, and other extracurricular activities. These pathways serve as guides to help students make informed decisions and should be reviewed alongside each student’s selected Graduation Pathway to determine the best individualized plan.
Students are encouraged to work closely with their counselors to ensure their course selections support graduation requirements, future college or career plans, and participation in specialized programs.
While changes in interest are expected and students may switch to a new pathway during any enrollment period, students who change pathways must begin at the start of the new pathway, beginning with the 9th-grade sequence, to ensure they receive the foundational coursework necessary for success in advanced pathway classes.
However, core subject areas that do not require prerequisites for advancement will not require students to restart the pathway. In these cases, students may transition into the appropriate course level aligned with their academic progress and graduation requirements.
Course availability, prerequisites, and program requirements may vary each year and are subject to change based on staffing, enrollment, district needs, and college partner updates. Any courses taken by the student outside of the scheduled school day or not included in the district-approved Graduation Pathways or course catalog will be the financial responsibility of the student and their family, including all associated tuition, fees, and textbook costs.
