Additional Information

Most classes are year-long classes, lasting one period, and are worth one credit. Classes that last only one semester are worth 1/2
credit. Career and Technical Education courses that last more than one period are worth multiple credits.
Several courses require application and/or try-outs and approval prior to CAP conferences: Yearbook, JAG, Choirs, Bands, Theatre
II/III, Construction Technology I/II, and Art III/IV/AP Studio Art.

No credit is given for study hall or office workers. Students may take no more than one study hall per semester when study hall is
offered.
Some colleges require two years of a foreign language for admission. The University of Memphis is our closest example, though
Arkansas public colleges do not have this requirement. MHS does not require a foreign language to graduate.

ASU Mid-South personnel and MHS Career Coaches will be available to pre-register students in the Spring for the following Fall semes-
ter for concurrent credit courses and Technical Center programs.

MHS course selections and policies are subject to change due to staffing and/or

district and state educational requirements implemented after the submission
of this book.
