Charles F. Brush High School
Course of Studies
The following page contains a complete listing of the Charles F. Brush High School Elective
Courses by grade level. This course of studies for the entire four (4) years is presented to assist
students and parents in planning course selections in the proper sequence. The Elective Request
Sheet, indicates the grade level in which a particular course may be taken. Credit will be granted
only once for the successful completion of a course.
Courses are offered only if adequate enrollment is achieved. The student’s course of study should
not be planned without careful consultation with the Guidance Department. Each department
section begins with a listing of all of the courses offered by that department. Subsequent pages
include descriptions of the courses we offer. Thorough program planning demands an awareness of
graduation requirements and course prerequisites, as well as knowledge of the purpose and content
of all courses of interest to the student.
Students are recommended to a particular course of study based upon two factors, 1) their past
academic performance, and 2) their goals after high school. Students and parents must carefully
select courses to ensure that enough graduation credits are earned in the category that will prepare
him/her to meet specific goals.
Please refer to the Forecasting Sheets which are located on pages 81 through 88.
FIND YOUR DIRECTION
What direction do you plan to take after your leave from Charles F. Brush High School? Whatever
it may be, use your time at Charles F. Brush High School wisely.
● Four-year College Bound:
A Bachelor’s Degree is not a career goal. College is a beginning to a diversified future. Exploration
of interests is still necessary while you are in high school. The number one reason why students are
not successful in college is a lack of discipline and direction.
● Two-year College Bound:
An Associate Degree offers specialized technical training in many career areas or provides the first
two years of coursework that are transferable to a four-year college. To achieve a two-year technical
degree, explore now while in high school. Look into the Tech Prep Options and College Link
courses to get a head start on your two-year degree.
● Military Options:
The Military is a great alternative for those students who desire training without the cost of college.
Two-, three- and four-year options are possible, as well as full-time enlistment or part-time Reserve
or National Guard. Officer training is available while attending college, with scholarships paying
tuition for all four years. (ROTC - Reserve Officer Training Corps).
