 Portfolio - Work that is contained in a portfolio documents the student’s extensive knowledge and technical,
critical-thinking and creative skills (representative of the student’s honors diploma area of focus) that the
student has learned. Students must get their portfolios reviewed and validated by external experts.

REVISION OF COURSE REQUESTS

Students and parents are urged to make careful course selections. Please pay close attention to teacher
recommendations, prerequisites, graduation and college requirements and course fees. Any revision of course requests
must be discussed with the student’s counselor. This must be accomplished during the schedule verification process;
after the master schedule is finalized, schedule changes are highly unlikely.
Please note that the likelihood of some of the elective courses described in this document being scheduled is dependent
on adequate sign-ups and/or available staffing. If a decision is made to not schedule an elective course requested
because of minimal interest or staffing, students will be contacted by their school counselor to choose another option.

MINIMUM LOAD/DROPPING A COURSE
Students in grades 9, 10, & 11 must be scheduled for a minimum of 6 classes daily. Students
in grade 12 must be scheduled for a minimum of 5 classes daily. Students who have less than the

required number of classes cannot drop a course. Athletes and those in extracurricular programs are reminded to check
eligibility requirements before dropping/changing classes!
