Curriculum Students may select from 150 courses to fill an eight-period day (7:50 AM – 2:55 PM).

Every student has an assigned Flex period. Offerings in English, social studies, science, mathematics and foreign languages (Spanish, French, and German) are year-long courses taught at the General, College Preparatory (CP), and Honors courses. Some classes are also available at the AP level, and the fourth and fifth levels of foreign languages are taught as dual-enrollment College in High School (CHS) programs. Full year courses are awarded 1.0 credits; semester courses, 0.5. 4 years of English, 3 years of Science, Social Studies, and Mathematics, and 7 in electives including courses in health, physical education, home economics, woodworking, and computer applications are required.
