WHAT ABOUT ELECTIVES?
• What subject area automatically falls into the elective
category?
• What are your interests?
• What elective classes align with a college major you
are interested in?
• How about trying something you’ve never experienced
before?
• Think about how you would like your junior and senior
year to look and plan by selecting prerequisite classes
now.
• Remember that you have the opportunity to earn
honor cords for graduation by taking upper-level
elective classes in certain categories.
HOW DO I KNOW I’M
DONE?

•
9th Grade= 7.25
•
10th Grade= 6.00
•
11th Grade= 6.00
•
12th Grade= 5.00
•
Total= 24.25
