Step 2
On the front of the subject selection sheet are
all of the required subjects for each grade
level. You are to obtain the recommendations of
your current teachers for each course in the core
subject areas of English, Math, Science, and
Social Studies (if applicable to your grade
level). Teachers will recommend you to honors
level courses or Advanced Placement (AP) courses.
These also require the completion of an AP
Contract Ask your teacher or go to our website
for this. Teachers must sign next to the course
level they recommend for you.

Step 2 continued
You must select the additional required electives
for your grade level. Most do not require a
teacher recommendation. Most importantly, you
must select the required academy elective that
corresponds to your year of study For example, If
you are entering the academy for the first time,
select the first year course. If you are
currently taking the first academy course for
your academy strand, then select the second year
course and so forth.

Step 3

• On the back of the subject selection sheet you
  will be selecting 6 additional electives. Please
  refer to the information for graduation
  requirements to help you select your electives.
  Keep in mind that although a foreign language is
  not a requirement for graduation, two years of
  the same foreign language are required for
  admissions to universities, scholarships, and
  academy completion.
• Number your choices in order of preference (that
  is, place a number 1 next to the course you want
  the most, number 2 as the course you would like
  to take second-best, etc.)
• Notice that some courses require a teacher
  recommendation. Please refer to your teachers in
  Band, Dance, or Acting for assistance with
  recommendations or see your counselor.
