Message from the Principal
Dear Student,
It is time to begin thinking about  the courses you will select for the 2018-2019 school year.  You may select from the many course offerings described in this guide.  With a possible eight credits per year, there are opportunities for you to explore courses of interest to you and to challenge yourself academically.  Whatever your course selections, I would encourage you to discuss your career and higher education goals with teachers, counselors, and family members.  Once you are as confident as you can be of the path you wish to take, your counselor can help you map out a course plan for success.
It is extremely important that you know and understand the requirements for graduation from high school and for continuing your education, whether it be at the community college level or at a four-year institution.  It is equally important that you graduate with marketable skills if you plan to enter the workforce upon graduation from high school.  Whichever path you choose, we want to be sure that you are well-prepared to take the next step.

Sincerely,
Disa Hauge, Principal
