AHHS Course Selection Sheets
It is that time of year to select courses for next year. Course selection is one of the most significant events in a high school student's academic career. The course selection process provides students with the opportunity to explore their interests while preparing for their future.
The Course Selection process is intended to be a joint venture between the students, parents, teachers, and the advisor. Prior to turning in the course selection form, we ask that parents/guardians review the course selection options with the student prior to signing.
Please refer to the following documents: A-H Curriculum Guide, Mrs. VanderPal's Course Registration Google Slides, Course Selection Sheet, and the Academic Planning Guide to help in the course selection process.
The deadline for all students to complete their course selection sheet is January 24, 2025.
Please reach out to Mrs. VanderPal if you have any questions.
